Shortly after the original bridge across the Missouri River at Blair was completed in 1993, this photograph was taken from the Nebraska end of the bridge.  The vulnerability of the low lying shore on the Iowa side to flooding is in evident; the riverbank in the distance behind the courageous employee was reinforced by facing the bank with large amount of heavy rock.  Photo from the collection of Robert Franke.
