Sawmill River Parkway, NY

Need some local knowledge. What are the bridge clearances? A good hunt online has not yielded anythng specific to that road.

  • Looks like the general answer is no:

    The following type vehicles are not permitted on the Parkways within the Parkway system, unless authorized under an agreement with the New York State Department of Transportation:
    (a) bicycles;
    (b) buses;
    (c) commercial;
    (d) golf carts;
    (e) hearses, except those operated by or for a licensed funeral director or undertaker while traveling to or from a funeral, interment, cremation, place of death or other destination for the acceptance and shipment of the body or remains of a deceased person;
    (f) house coaches
    (g) motor-driven cycles;
    (h) school buses;
    (i) semitrailers;
    (j) snowmobiles;
    (k) tractors;
    (l) trailers;
    (m) trucks.
  • I have found that when in NY , any road that is labeled as a parkway is NOT RV friendly..... I have NOT been on the sawmill , but a lot of other parkways... The Southern States Parkway and Belt Parkway have clearances as low as 9'8"
