Low Clearance TX US59

Yes they are.Most bridges for trks have 13"6" clearance.What I mean by most is some clearances for trks are higher then 13"6.

 

US 59 is a regular truck route from Texarkana to Houston. There's a few truckstops down thru there also.

 

those bridges are railroad tressels, and when a train is on them, they are NOT 13'6".... you will see the signs telling you to go around.

 

just came through there last week. ran 59 Texarkana to Houston twice down and back with no issues

 

Make sure you take the loop around to avoid the lower bridges on the business routes. Meaning follow US 59 signage and avoid business routes.

 

Same here--I remember the low clearence and bypass signs--but me thinks the rebuilds and ongoing construction thru there has eliminated them anyway

 

construction isn't complete yet......if i remember correctly think one of them has an overheight detector and signed work around if you set it off. doesn't look like much more work at one of those bridges and the new road will be done

 

Don't know until you try

Yes
No
Maybe so

I once bounced over new pavement and made a sky hole on a 13 7 sign just north of Seymour in on 31

Duuuucccctttttttt ttttaaaaaaapppppppeeeeeeeeeeeeee

 

There's a decent sized new truckstop on the south end of Lufkin I think?
