Hwy 24 at Monticello, In.

I'm looking at using Hwy 24 to get from I57 to US31 in Indiana. On that route, just east of Monticello, IN there is railroad trestle over the road. I can't tell the height from Google Maps/Earth, etc. or searching IN low clearance data. My 5er is 13'1", 13'2" high. Anyone know what the clearance on this bridge is and if there are any other bridge clearances I need to look at on the route from I57 to US 31?

  • I talked with someone at the Indiana DOT district office where this bridge is located. According to their records the clearance for the bridge (trestle) is 14.62 feet. I just wanted to verify the bridge height as it looked a little on the low side from the pics on Google maps/earth, etc.

    Thanks all for the responses.
  • I would call the local police department for satisfaction. I have driven this route many times in car and a few in the 5th wheel without a problem.
  • location is where you're coming out of Monticello, heading east, just after crossing the Tippecanoe River, Rt. 24 takes a curve to the left. Right after that curve is the RR crossing.

    When i look at the road in that location on Google Earth the road label says "IN 39", but the map view shows it as 24 so not sure what's going on there...edit: US vs. state hwy i'm guessing.
  • I have driven this road many times. Never had a concern about any clearance. Where is the exact location that has a concern? This road is used by many trucks and there is no truck route or detour. Send me a PM and we can confirm your issues.
