tree68 Paul of Covington Does anyone know how this bridge will stop ice-jam flooding? Apparently there was also a levee built which will serve that purpose. As near as I can figure, the bridge is here: N 64.55749 W 147.07133

Thanks. The first article made it sound like the bridge itself would prevent flooding.

I wondered why they would want to build a RR to Delta Junction. I looked at the wiki link on Fort Greely. The army was downgrading it, but now it is to be a major site for anti-ballistic missiles, Its on the shortest air route between N Korea and the lower 48 states.

FTA:
"Beyond benefits to the military and our economy, this bridge will be a major benefit to the community of Salcha by stopping ice-jam flooding from destroying homes," he said.
Does anyone know how this bridge will stop ice-jam flooding?
So can I expect to see it on a future episode of Railroad Alaska? You know, between the 95% of the non RR related drama
Thanks for the link
