Iowa City Flood 2008: Burlington St Bridge

[mrsmelzbad]

I used to fish below this damn back in the 70s..........alot of memories (good ones)

At one point they actually closed the bridge for both ppl and cars..

I'm pretty sure it remained open during the entire time. I think people in Iowa City were waiting for it to close, but it never ultimately did.

too long

That is alot of pressure on that bridge from underneath, I would be afraid to drive accross that!!! God Bless!

As someone who once drove across that bridge every day (for about 3 years), I appreciate this update. I find You Tube to be the best source of what I really want to know about the flooding.

Thank you for sharing. I lived in Hillcrest in 1996. I remember the river being frozen, some flooding, and twisters but nothing like this.
