I researched this recently:

When I contacted the National Park Service, they had this to say about their "commercial truck restrictions":Is this vehicle registered Commercial? And YES we do have height restrictions. We have bridges under passes, which would not allow anything over 13 ft.
I asked where the 13' overpasses were but didn't get any response.
I re-contacted the NPS and got clarification on the statement regarding "which would not allow anything over 13 ft". They said that there is one bridge that is 14' 2" at Good Luck Road which is inside of the DC beltway and not between the two.

Hello Sir, after looking at bridge reports I see the lowest bridge on Parkway is 14.2' and that is at Good Luck Rd bridge.
I'd still not take the parkway and would opt for 95. I have yet to drive it where traffic didn't get gummed up (weekday, weekend, morning, evening, you name it- I'm a traffic magnet on that dang road).
