Prior to the study conducted by the USCG and the NYSDOT, options to ameliorate the issue included a new rail tunnel under the Hudson River, the rehabilitation of the Poughkeepsie Bridge, the use of the North River Tunnels, a cross-harbor rail ferry, the use of low-profile piggyback equipment and the use of the Harlem, New Haven, and Hudson Divisions through the removal of clearance restrictions.
In civil engineering, clearance refers to the difference between the loading gauge and the structure gauge in the case of railroad cars or trams, or the difference between the size of any vehicle and the width/height of doors, the width/height of an overpass or the diameter of a tunnel as well as the air draft under a bridge, the width of a lock or diameter of a tunnel in the case of watercraft.

Vertical clearance: The minimum vertical clearance under overhead structures, such as bridges, is 16 feet (4.9 m), including both paved shoulders and an allowance for extra layers of pavement. Through urban areas, at least one routing is to have 16-foot (4.9 m) clearances, but others may have a lesser clearance of 14 feet (4.3 m).
The code also defines the clearance that is shorter than the physical clearance to account for sag curves, bridge deflection and expected settlements with a recommendation of minimum clearance of 5 metres (16 ft 5 in). [2] In UK, the "standard minimum clearance" for structures over public highways is 16 feet 6 inches (5.03 m). [3]
CSX lists three clearance heights above top of rail for double stack service: [8] Doublestack 1 — 18 ft 2 in (5.54 m) [8] Doublestack 2 — 19 ft 2 in (5.84 m) [8] Doublestack 3 — 20 ft 2 in (6.15 m) [8] Doublestack 4 — 20 ft 3 in (6.17 m) [9] The last 2 clearances offer the most flexibility, allowing two high cube containers to be stacked.

Alexander Hamilton Bridge in May 2024. The total length of the bridge, including approaches, is 2,375 feet (724 m). Its parallel main spans are 555 feet (169 m) long and provide 103 feet (31 m) of vertical clearance over the Harlem River at the center and 366 feet (112 m) of horizontal clearance.
