Green Bridge, Cedar Creek Rd, Flooded and Damaged
The bitumen has been washed away, railings damaged and there is clear damage to the edge of the bridge.
We have no idea if this will be structurally sound when the water goes down.

Wow.
With your new truck I'm sure you'll make it once the water goes down.
Thanks

Aw go on! I'm sure Allan would be happy to shoot the video from the sideline haha ;-)

Gold.
Holy crap, thats some serious damage David!!
I guess you wont know what its like till the water drops.
Seems pretty bad, do you have any before images?
I would say possibly not, watched some tv programme the other day about a very old bridge in the UK somewhere, its survived 100's of years of very rough water because its covered in oysters, their tough little shells and secretions have made for - " super bridge ' ! Some bridges made of huge chunks of granite, 100's of years old have been damaged in our past floodings, this looks puny in comparison. Isnt water amazingly destructive, especially when its full of debris and rocks, scary stuff, I have a very healthy respect for it and stay away !

[http://www.flickr.com/photos/36021204@N03] Indeed!
[http://www.flickr.com/photos/33085391@N00] Yeah pretty darn impressive amounts of water. And very destructive. People down the road have lost one of their cars.
as long as no-one was in it thats the main thing, its animals I feel sorry for as well, all the wildlife
Methinks you should haul your butt out to Wivenhoe dam and setup cameras for the collapse ...
The waiting will not be worse than the River Fire Festival, but bring an umbrella just in case.

[http://www.flickr.com/photos/maasha] Alas, I can't get out of here myself, or I'd be sorely tempted.
oops yeah that was bad..
Wow. Powerful.
[http://www.flickr.com/photos/madiator] Just a bit yeah.
[http://www.flickr.com/photos/smurfie77] Very much so. Amazing the force of water down our peaceful little creek.
Incredible.
