Bridge Heights

Three bridges on the UCI campus have less than 15’6″ clearance and are considered “low clearance” bridges per California MUTCD standards. Advance roadway signs are in place warning road users of these bridges at Athletics and Palo Verde, allowing vehicles to select alternate routes. Please send an email to traffic@uci.edu for assistance with a traffic plan if you drive a tall vehicle or delivery truck on the campus roadways.

Parking Structure Heights

Please make note of parking structure heights when driving taller vehicles to ensure your safe passage through the structures.
