Bridge Height Restrictions

Request

1) Please provide your current dataset for:

Bridge Height Restrictions (Physical clearances under 16'6" / 5.03m) 



Preferred Format: CSV, XLSX, or Spatial GIS layer (GeoJSON, SHP, KML) containing:

Bridge/Structure Name & Location Description

Height Restriction (Imperial feet/inches and/or Metric meters)Geo-coordinates (Latitude/Longitude or OS Easting/Northing)Date of last physical survey or TRO revision 


Less important is:

Weight & Width Restrictions (Enforced structural or environmental limits)Same details 

If this data is published on an open data portal or Web Feature Service (WFS), please reply with the direct link as this also might be useful.

 
I am also now aware of D-TRO's being centralised onto the DOT, which includes changes to signed bridge heights. I have just created an account, so this may be a method of viewing changes to bridge heights.

If this is a method you use, that would be useful to know.

Decision

Please refer to attached spreadsheet ‘ESDAL’ detailing height and weight limits at bridges only. Environmental limits are not shown. Details of all constraints, including environmental limits, are shown in the Esdal system at https://esdal.nationalhighways.co.uk

 

We do not hold information on the physical survey dates for all low bridges, however some are recorded on the attached spreadsheet ‘Low bridge signing register’.

 

I can confirm that we are already using the DfT system to publish our TTROs and TROs via our existing arrangements e.g. Causeway and StatMap. Any changes to bridge heights will be picked up by the DfT system.
