This post is what motivated me to look at the collection of bridges.

Screenshot from a time-lapse video of a tow going downriver with 53' on the gauge

The same day I saw this video of a tow at Cincinnati on a high river, I had seen a photo of a tow in a Byrd lock that showed the river was high. Someone had mentioned that the river at Cincinnati was 54' and rising so I captured the hydrology data.
