Is there a website for low bridge clearances?

I had just entered Canada on my way to Alaska. I crossed at Sweetgrass, MT. and was content that my speedometer had both MPH and KPH on it. What I didn't have was a feet/meter table with me. In Calgary, I came to a bridge with a superstructure and the clearance height measured in meters. I knew my height in feet. I pulled over, pulled out the laptop and I was good to go. You would have thought that I would have converted ounces to grams while I was at it, but I didn't. I stopped at a grocery store later and hit the deli counter. Everything was in grams per Canadian Dollar. So I just ordered 8 slices. And I still don't know that conversion.
Retired and visiting as much of this beautiful country as I can.

We traveled weekly for 7 yrs..........secondary/back roads majority of time (hate Interstates)

Only came across a few (very few) low bridges that were NOT marked with road signs BEFORE getting to the low bridge....early enough that other alt. routes were available.

And the few that we did encounter that weren't marked prior OR we missed the road sign...we just turned around and went different way.

No big deal......just part of the travel adventure

Those dang electronic gismos/Garmin etc. ........they WILL give you wrong info
Miss Garmin is still muffled and stuffed in a box after she gave me wrong directions TWICE........both of which put me in real pickle of situation.
My fault most definitely. But now I don't have to listen to 'Recalculating'
Good old paper maps and reading road signage works :B
Is it time for your medication or mine?

We always used the Trucker's Road Atlas. I like having a back-up that doesn't rely on something electronic.

I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be

Since you're already a member, you can also use the GS trip planner. Over on the right side of the screen you can modify the RV Warnings section.
