Listening to WBBM AM780 (highly recommended!) seemed like most guys got into trouble when they went off into the side streets. -

M&E Enterprise (ph: 630-739-3811) used to sell Chicago viaduct maps. Don't know if they are still in business or not. My Chicago viaduct map is from 2001.

I looked all over for a low clearance map and never found one

I would be surprised if they still make a hard copy map maybe check ebay

The picture is from the intersection of Ogden and Lake. I was going Northeast on Ogden, and the overpass runs over Lake Street. The sign says 13.2, but it's taller, you can go under it with a van. I did after I called 911, and the police officer told me the sign was wrong, and watched the clearance as I was moving under the overpass. There's enough clearance in both directions, I tested it today.

Sorry to say I’ve never been into anywhere in Chicago proper and seen the low clearances. Out in the burbs near O’hare quite few a times though. NYC I am very familiar with. Even did some minor damage to the tops of a couple pup trailers playing with a couple of rail overpasses I shouldn’t have been!
