It looks like the Wabash was running high in the Summer of 2018.

Since there were five street view photos from the bridge, I checked the other four. They all had lower river levels than the Jun 2018 photo. This is one of the lower ones.

I lucked out in that the street view camera took a photo just as it got to the tracks so I can see between trees.

I took this photo looking east through the Clinton bridge in August 1981

A satellite image reminded me that the Wabash can have some serious flood plains. The bridge that we can see over the main channel is less than half of the total length of the bridge.
