    Typical NY, can't easily find any online information on the bridge clearance.

    I found this. It'll allow a ruff estimate of bridge. If the workers are each just under six feet tall, we can stack them on top of each other to gauge bridge. The way I am eyeballing it, bridge height is just about 20 feet. Could be wrong.

    It appears the tow truck had an under lift ?? With such a high vehicle I would’ve used that even though you need to pull driveshaft..
