Christchurch: 6' 1" headroom on the riverside path
The Image unsurprisingly also crosses the public footpath along the riverbank, and the road sign here illustrates the low level at which the railway passes overhead.
In reality, this will be a route little used by vehicles as it is just access for maintenance vehicles, and even then I'm not sure that there is all that much to maintain.
