[quote user="blhanel"] <p>The IDOT just announced that I-380 over the Coralville Reservoir between Cedar Rapids and Iowa City will be closed by 6 PM today. Water from the reservoir is on the verge of flowing OVER the freeway. Their recommended detour- take I-80 west to I-35 at Des Moines, I-35 north to US 20, US 20 east to I-380 at Waterloo, then I-380 south!<span class="smiley">[wow]</span></p><p>Saw some more aerial video this afternoon which showed that the old Rock Island RR bridge south of downtown, which was abandoned and the city wanted to remove, is now in the drink. Takes care of that problem...</p><p>[/quote]</p><p>Do you mean the ROCK's old bridge that used to go over the CNW main at C Street? That was removed and replaced with a walking bridge. Do you mean a different one?</p><p>Not much has been said about the Iowa Northern. Their ex-ROCK line north out of Cedar Rapids must be submerged as it runs along the north bank of the Cedar, and they go through Vinton and Palo that have been hit hard. They're gonna have a ton of work to do.</p>
