But it's one metre vertically.
Hence why I posted in the "raise a railway" thread not extend a railway...
Was that cost just for raising the bridge, or did it include raising the track bed either side too?

Our local bridge is number one!
I suspect the main reason it has risen to the top is that they've added protective measures (big steel girders) that actually lowered the clearance and led to a lot more strikes from vehicles that would previously go under the bridge.

They could have added the clearance height and the height restriction in the table
