• Abstract:
  The 2011 Missouri river flooding caused damage to many geoinfrastructure ; systems including levees, bridge abutments/foundations, ; paved and unpaved roadways, culverts, and embankment slopes in ; western Iowa. The total reported direct cost to repair flood-damaged ; transportation infrastructure on primary and secondary roadways in ; western Iowa was about $63.5 million. The extent of damage was in ; some cases directly observable, i.e., where segments of the roadway ; were washed away, but in many cases was undetermined, i.e., where the ; damage was below the pavement surface or around bridges.
