Bridge at South Wayside

You want to see flodding, you should see the Spring Street Subway in Reading. It's like this bridge but the road is steeper on both sides and since it goes under an entire yard throat it's wider. They've used boats in there to get people out of stuck cars.

We've got a few underpasses that flood like that too. And when they flood, invariably people will just drive their cars right off in the drink and have to get rescued. On the nightly TV news, when flooding is predicted, they are constantly giving the wisdom of "don't drive into water where you can't see the bottom" but still, there'll be cars with water up to the roof and folks swimming out of them.
