here's a link to a topographical map..scroll a bit N to the bridge area and the map gives the actual elevations (click on the globe to hide the box)

[link to mapper.acme.com]

btw..here's an interesting article on the Brownville Bridge

[link to www.dailyyonder.com]

edit to add: the topo map does appear to show a levee at 904' ft S of the bridge..but..if you switch to the terrain map the contours of a levee do not show up..
 Quoting: RTS

btw..the terrain map shows every little bump and crevice why not a levee?? Are topographical maps fudged just to make it look good on paper? 1dunno1

Re: COOPER NUCLEAR STATION HIT BY FLASH FLOOD??? LATEST: DHS CLAIMS "VIOLENT EXTREMISTS HAVE, IN FACT, OBTAINED INSIDER POSITIONS"
A Nuclear Regulatory Commission spokesman told The Iowa Independent Friday that dry cask storage of spent nuclear fuel rods at two Nebraska facilities are not being protected from flood waters because the situation poses no public or environmental threat.

Victor Dricks, an NRC Region 4 spokesman, said by phone Friday afternoon that the regulatory agency continues to closely monitor conditions along the Missouri River where floodwaters are rising at the Cooper and Fort Calhoun nuclear power stations. Flooding, brought on by heavy rainfall and snow melts in northern states, is expected to continue for several weeks.

The Cooper facility, which is owned and operated by Nebraska Public Power District, continues to operate at full power. Fort Calhoun, owned by Omaha Public Power District, was shut down for refueling on April 7. Although workers have finished refueling, the facility will be kept offline until the flood waters recede.

Latest news on flooding

It's a record: The National Weather Service Office in Valley reports that river stages along the Missouri at both Plattsmouth and Nebraska City have preliminarily surpassed record flood stages set in 1993. At Plattsmouth, the previous record was 35.65 feet; on Thursday it was at 36.03 feet. The previous record in Nebraska City was 27.19 feet; Thursday's level was 27.79 feet.

Reopened: The Interstate 29/680 interchange near Loveland has reopened, the Iowa Department of Transportation said. Mitigation work, including the use of sandbags, barrier walls and pumps, allowed for the reopening. The interchange remains vulnerable to increased water levels.

Levees patrolled: The City of Bellevue said it has been informed by the Papio-Missouri River Natural Resource District that the district's levees along the Missouri River east and south of Bellevue are being monitored 24 hours a day by the Nebraska Army National Guard.

Levee tested: The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers says discharges from the Oahe Dam and runoff from the Bad River pushed the Missouri to within 1 foot of the top of the levees at Pierre, S.D. The corps reduced discharges from the dam when the Bad River began rising from heavy rain this week. The Bad River drains into the Missouri at Fort Pierre.

Utilities: Power to remain stable

Omaha Public Power District and Nebraska Public Power District have told the Nebraska Emergency Management Agency that the availability of electrical power will remain stable for Nebraskans despite rising flood waters.

OPPD's Fort Calhoun nuclear power plant north of Omaha is currently offline for scheduled refueling. Because it's now surrounded by high water, OPPD says it won't be restarted until the water goes down.

Floodwater is also lapping at NPPD's Cooper Nuclear Power Plant near Brownville, but it continues to operate.

Should Cooper be shut down due to increased flooding, the utilities said, the utilities can generate enough power with their coal-fired plants or import power from other states to provide the state sufficient power.

I doubt if there will be any new updates between now and then..it'll be interesting to see how they spin this

nothing to worry about..bla bla bla

It wouldn't surprise me much if the press plays pretend that he is actually there..
