I note the route you recommend uses Route 15 (Merritt Parkway) through CT. When I was researching routes south I found that some sections of 15 are closed to oversized vehicles and have an 8 foot height restriction due to low overpasses.
Here's what I found:
"Vehicles over 2.5 meters (eight feet) in height, weighing more than 3,650 kilograms (four tons), towing a trailer, or containing more than four wheels are not allowed on the Merritt parkway."
I am planning a trip from my home, just north of Maine to Florida and google maps always puts me on Route 15 in CT.
My rig is about the same size as yours. I always trust first hand experience over internet info, so my question is??
Is Route 15 (Merritt Parkway) through CT ok for a 12 foot high rig? Have you travelled it without mishap or trouble from law enforcement?
Thanks
