Fast moving water from the Blue Earth River continues to hamper efforts by crews to inspect a county bridge just south of the Rapidan Dam.
After a partial failure of the Rapidan Dam in late June, Blue Earth County Officials turned to the stability of the County Road 9 bridge.
The bridge remains closed to pedestrians and vehicle traffic. Blue Earth County and the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources continue to monitor the speed of the river and the county and state transportation department continue monitoring the bridge.
Following the flooding, Blue Earth County Officials are also encouraging residents and business owners to use the county’s website to file property damage reports.
