Mile High - Something is strange here. I am 13'6" and came down that stretch of I-25 and under that bridge last summer with no problems. Also, I just checked my trucker atlas and it shows that a semi trailer of standard height (13'6") can travel I-25 through Denver.
Is it possible that sign indicates the low point outside edges of that bridge are 13' and that the center is actually higher (14') ? I think I took the middle lane under it.
I also was under the impression that all interstates provided clearances of at least 14' when they went under a bridge.

Normally I believe the footage sign is placed near the low point.. I would agree that IF that bridge was in fact 13' in the middle , that the sign would be in the middle... I am betting that the height of 13'0" is for the low points in the middle of the road between the 2 directions , NOT the arch , right were the sign is..
WITH THAT SAID... Don't ever take your RV on the Southern States Parkway , or Belt parkway in NY... 9' in spots..
