Unless the signs are wrong! Not uncommon for roads to be re-paved, adding several inches of new over old pavement, and the signs not to be updated. That 4" clearance you had before just became ZERO clearance! One tip, that I've seen posted any number of times, is to try and move to the center of a bridge, as that's where clearance will be the highest; stay out of the curb lanes whenever you think you'll be close.
