Two tangents intersect at V with back tangent having a grade of -4% and forward tangent of 5%. A 205 m curve lies on the side of PC and 95 on the other side. Stationing of V is at 10+520 having an elevation of 103.5 m. If a bridge is located above the curve, with its centerline having an elevation of 120 m and stationing of 10+565, with underside of the bridge located 95 cm below the given elevation, determine the height of highest vehicle it can accommodate if the bridge has a width of 10 m
