    What's the deal with US61 in Wisconsin? I gotta go up to Altoona,WI from Quincy,IL. Trucker path wants me to go all the way to i39 north then back west on 94. Why can't I just shoot up 61? Anyone know if there is a low bridge or something that why?

    My atlas shows it's a truck route in Wisconsin. No low bridges.

    Please carry a Rand-McNally Motor Carrier Road Atlas. They only cost $15-30, depending on the time of year you buy, and they are available at every truck stop. The front pages show all of the truck restrictions and low clearances, give the state kingpin laws and work even if your phone or GPS dies. I promise you won't just use it once.
     
    DannyB, mitrucker and ducnut Thank this.
