The bridge permittable vertical clearance is the maximum height that will be permitted by ND Highway Patrol when purchasing an over height permit. The vertical clearance listings are not guaranteed for complete accuracy due to construction activities and weather that may affect bridge or road conditions.

The vertical clearances in this list are provided for informational purposes only. An approved permit from the ND Highway Patrol is required for over height vehicles. The North Dakota Department of Transportation is not responsible for changes in conditions.
