Quick question from anyone with info. There is a railroad bridge that goes over Washington St in Middletown CT (also called ct66) does anyone know the height? Heading south it's right before a sunoco gas station. I looked on google street view and didn't see any height signs listed and it looked more than 14ft above the road, but I figured I would ask. We are taking this route to get to 84

Can you get the name/address of the Sunoco station from the Google view? Or try calling the town's highway department-they should be able to tell you.


I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be Douglas Adams

We use Rt66 all the time to cut from I-84 to Rt9. The Sahara is 11'6" and I've never given it a thought. Here's a shot from Google street view. Looks like plenty of height, although I couldn't find a clearance sign. No sign usually indicates >14 feet.

I visited Middletown for the first time, a week ago; and, was wondering what the bridge was...does it have a name? Thanks. 29 July 2023

It is a railroad overpass (or bridge). They usually are not named.
