This is the open Spandrel deck arch bridge located just east of Branson Missouri.
We have had some major flooding lately and most of the houses on the west side near the river are underwater.
There is a trailer park on the east side that was almost ready to go under as well.
Many more homes downstream have been evacuated due to the floods.
This is the highest that I have ever seen the water here.
The New Branson Landing was also partly under on our visit.
The bridge appears to be holding up well with all the water that is going under it at this time.
As always have fun be safe and
HAPPY.......................................WAYMARKING
