Due to construction work in any given year, the clearances outlined in these tables may vary. In addition, structures may be erected and not included until the first quarter of the following year Mechanical warning devices are in place at certain locations where the structure has been damaged on several occasions. These devices do not relieve the driver or company, of the responsibility of assuring the load clears the structures involved.
