<< Does anyone know what is the maximum height you can have for a mobile antenna? >>

  I think, as a practical limit, I wouldn't go much above 10', or you'd risk hitting overhead tree branches.

<< What about interstate bridges here in the states?  Is there a minimum height of the bridge structure to allow safe passage
of large trucks and RVs? >>

  Someone else answered, yes, the Interstate system has a minimum height of 13'6", except in certain spots (a couple of
tunnels come to mind). If you're really serious about this, meander down to your local truck stop and buy the special version
of the Rand McNally Atlas for truck drivers. It lists lots of bridge heights and other obstructions, on a state-by-state
basis.
