Bridge Clearances: Need for a Realistic Approach
Publication: Transactions of the American Society of Civil Engineers
Volume 123, Issue 1
Abstract
Operators of craft on the inland waterways of the United States recognize the need for a practical approach to the problem of bridge clearances and desire to cooperate in arriving at satisfactory solutions. The agreement reached between navigation interests and the Connecticut State Highway Department with reference to clearances along the Connecticut Expressway is used as an example. Any standardized formula applied to all waterways would jeopardize water-borne commerce, and each crossing should be considered on its own merits.
