    This may be at the one bridge that has a big sign about a mile before you come upon it that says

    "Clearance: 11'6" for 30 MPH, 12' for 40 MPH, and 12'6" for 50 MPH".

    LOL Anyone looking to get into U.S. Express they need another driver! Mindlessly following the GPS! They even said there were several signs warning of the height restriction.
