HIghway 30 North Of Fort Calhoun Closed


on Jun 30, 2011

The Army Corp of Engineers has released an official statement that they have never factored in the power plants downstream in their flood plan, they are flooding the plants with their dam games upstream. Highway 30 between Blair and Missouri Valley, Iowa was closed Wednesday morning. The Department of Transportation needs time to install barriers to keep the highway safe from flooding. The work is expected to be completed by Friday.

Looking at the Missouri River it's hard to tell where Nebraska ends and Iowa begins, the boundary stretched by the rising water. Department of Transportation officials are working around the clock to keep it open.
