I-35: (Satellite)
A June 2015 flood gives us a view of both bridges.

Because of the trusses, we can see that two-thirds of the railroad bridge is over a tree-filled floodplain.

This view makes it obvious that the girders for this bridge are made with steel instead of concrete. One generally does not see solid concrete fill between the columns of a pier. These piers were built exceptionally strong to withstand floods.

They are spending $480m to build the bridges needed to add more lanes to I-35. [news9] (Why can't we get money to add more lanes to I-65 between Indianapolis and Chicagoland?) This is a Feb 12, 2025 view.

May 2025 Flood
May 4, 2025: I wonder where the crane went. I was expecting to see it up on the higher ground. If they have dug some cofferdams for some piers, they are full of water. It looks like at least some of the temporary trestle is intact because that is probably what is collecting the river debris.

"Dirt work on new approaches is well underway, but rising waters have damaged construction equipment left in the riverbed." [RoadsBridges]
This looks like the same video and it provides a capture date of May 3, 2025.

| Storm Chaser Jordan Hall posted 1:58 video Red River continues to flood near the I-35 Bridge on the Texas/Oklahoma border. The flood gauge has come back down to 26 feet from the 38 it was flowing at 2 days ago. Looks like the bridge project was also destroyed. Robyn Walters: normally it is just a thin line of water . |

| noaa At 41.5', the floodwaters reach the low chord of the I-35 bridge. The 2015 flood shown at the top of these notes was the record flood of 42.05'. |
