for those of you who have not heard both the hwy 34 bridge and the railraod
bridge here in burlington iowa over the mississippi are closed due to being
struck by brages over night.two brages came down the river and hit the hwy 34
bridge with a thrid going on down and striking the railroad bridge about at the
fifth prier out from the illinios shore.the barge has swung aron side ways so
the whole weight is pushing on the bridge all train traffic has stop and bnsf
has spotted what appears to be five loaded grains on the span that the barge is
pushing on.with the river currtly at 20.5 feet which is about 12.5 over the
normal stage the barge could not clear under the bridge
