Rapidan Dam and Bridge Update with Exclusive Footage
In this video, I discuss what is going on to address the damage resulting from an overtopping failure of a hydroelectric dam in Minnesota 95 miles southwest of the Minneapolis area. I also discuss what is happening with the bridge immediately upstream of the dam that had foundations damaged from this flood event due to channel scour around the pier.
Check out the Members Only video which shows the full 19 minutes of drone footage collected for the area of the dam and bridge on August 27, 2024.
