US Low Clearance POI

 |
Due to the apparent amount of interest in this POI (172 downloads already) I figured it would be a good idea to get a forum topic going on it for additions or corrections.
Again, I will state here that this file's use is totally the responsibility of the user. I make absolutely no claim to its height or location accuracy. The file is to be used as a guide ONLY!
If you would like to add new locations and heights or submit corrections, please do so here.
When submitting a correction, please give the original location coordinates and height and then the corrected info.
When submitting a new location, please submit it in the format of the current POI. This will make it much easier for me to update the file.
Thanks for your interest in this POI!

Due to some user input I am completely going over this file line by line due to locational inaccuracies. Please submit only new locations that are not already within the file. Thanks!

Due to a lack of time to spend on updating this file, I've offered ownership of it to Firenutts. Firenutts has graciously accepted the offer and as soon as Miss POI does the transfer, he will upload an updated file. He has updated almost all of the locations for accuracies and has also added some new locations.
I would like to thank all of those who helped me develop the file initially or pointed out innacuracies or omittances (which there will always be).
I'd also like to apologize to those who've been frustrated by the lack of an update. I am truly sorry that I wasn't able to pull it off.
This is not an easy file to keep updated and/or accurate. Firenutts is going to have his hands full! I hope that all of you will help him as you've helped me.
The Low Clearance Project thread will still be available to users to provide updated locational info or comments about the project.
Again, Thanks to all and especially Firenutts for "keeping it alive."

Dingman's Ferry Bridge
This 11' clearance bridge cost me $20 because I cold not back up when I hit it. Although there were warning signs prior to arriving at the bridge, there was nowhere to turn around.
There is also a 4 Ton weight limit.
I'm driving a 40' MH with a tow. and I need 55' feet of room to do an about face.
I'm 11'9" and weight 13 tons. I got across but paid for it.

It might be advisable to include weight limitations for bridges. This is one and there had been another 3 Ton max bridge that Garmin wanted me to cross back down the road at Washington Crossing.
I didn't.

You need to get yourself to
You need to get yourself to a truckstop and buy you a copy of the Street Atlas for truckers book. Either laminate or not. It's the most complete guide available for low clearances and bridge weight limits.
It has way more information that you need than a POI file could ever hope to contain.

It's those changes in latitudes, changes in attitudes nothing remains quite the same. With all of our running and all of our cunning, If we couldn't laugh, we would all go insane.
