    I am omw towards western NY and current rt has me taking US 20 through Alden. The book has low bridge listef at 12'8", I know many such bridges in NY are higher than listed/posted and can easily be cleared but have no personal experience with this one. I have standard 13'6" reefer and have back up planned if needed. Anybody with actual knowledge, experience of this particular bridge, your input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

    It appears to be a railroad bridge. The hight warning is on the westbound side. They don't seem to have a hight warning on the eastbound side. You might make it. It's a ten inch difference.

    Go under it all the time
    You are good to go

    If going to I-90 you can follow that road (us20) all the way to dick road turn right (there is a limo shop on the corner where you turn) go up to the light turn left (walden ave) and it will take you to 90 or right past Jim's truck stop also (on left/south side of walden ave)
