Based on Topographic Maps, and counting 20' interval contour lines - looks like its about 100 to 120' high from I-376 to the crest of the valley.

I thought this was a simple enough question, but PennDOT's GIS site only has deck area, lanes, and length, but no clearance or height information. Weird. I'm glad the other commenter thought of using the topo maps.

He's a more detailed topo map using 5' intervals. The northern approach is at 950', and the old ravine floor where saline street used to be is approximately 830'. So the 120' height above ground holds, but not sure how much that changed when the parkway was build. Probably not more than a couple feet, which is within the margin of error anyhow due to 5' intervals. Doubt penndot did much more than grading.
