Pretty much what the title says. On most apps, you can touch the restricted area and get info about it. But is there a place online where you can do the same ? Is there any place online where restricted spaces and their altitudes etc are listed. I know it's on the edge off sectionals, but where can I find this info online ?

Thanks.
 
Actually, this does NOT help. You cannot get the dimensions of restricted airspace. E.g. if I want to know altitudes of R-4005 near DC, this does NOT give me the information...

Did you try 1800wxbrief ?

because on there I found that R-4005 is up to but not including FL250

Yes it does. Click on the area in question and it gives you the active altitudes.

Sorry to be dense, but where exactly did you find this on 1800wxbrief? (within a briefing or where ?)

There's the option to view individual sectional charts on interactive map rather than the stitched view. All the info is there on the border just like a printed out chart.
 
This was my first hit from Google: "R-4005"

https://www.globalsecurity.org/military/facility/moa-pax.htm

It says:
R-4005
R-4005 is special-use airspace located over the junction of the Potomac River and Chesapeake Bay, approximately 15 NMI south of the Patuxent VORTAC, Channel 123, bearing 180�. The airspace extends from the surface up to, but not including, FL250. R-4005 is used primarily for aircraft RDT&E and, to a lesser degree, antisubmarine warfare training and tactics. Non-explosive ordnance is authorized in this area. No ordnance is authorized on Sundays and holidays. R-4005 is available continuously
