Heavy rainfall caused flooding and damaged two bridges near Iowa Highway 175 in Dayton. The Webster County Engineer reported both bridges are closed, with one facing a total loss due to a massive log jam. The northern bridge is unlikely to be replaced before 2027, while the southern bridge may be salvageable pending assessment.
