[Talk-us] FYI - user Justinb in western GA

[Randal Hale]

Since I'm in Chattanooga and next to the super bridge at the TN/GA 
border I'll send him a message today offering help. That stretch that he 
has called a bridge is elevated out of the flood plain.. The road bed is 
has been built up about 10 to 15 feet in most places to get it out of 
flooding...and it floods regularly. If you traveled along this section 
during a flood event I can completely see someone calling it a bridge. 
There's water along the east side and in the median. In the worst events 
(and we've had quite a few in the last 4 months) the northbound lane is 
out of the water by a foot or less......but then if you're even slightly 
familiar with imagery/photography you can see it's not.
