    Hello I’m trying to get to the Costco in Lawrence ny and this will be only my second time driving in New York. I was wondering if I could take i678 to S conduit ave e to Rockaway blvd my truck and trailer are 13’6”, I’m just worried about low bridges since I’ve heard there’s so many in the area. Any help would be very much appreciated :)

    Isn’t there a low bridge on the Van Wyck somewhere?

    What time is appt?

    Will they let you park overnight?

    Are there any great NY diners nearby ?

    You fine on 678. Like ruthless said... some times they set up in front of McDonald's. Sometimes in Costco parking lot... but no low bridge worries

    No, you’re right.

    I thought I remembered an entry in the Atlas for the Van Wyck, but I just dug mine out and looked. There’s one for the LIE but not the Van Wyck.
