    Someday, they might just build a bridge high enough to clear most of the flooding in that stream valley. Not that i'll hold my breath for that to happen.

    I used to live in Reston. That particular bridge and road were always too low. They seriously need to build a new bridge there and replace the road deck so that this will not happen again, thereby inconveniencing the commuters and residents who depend on that road.

    Flood before this got a new bridge there, which did survive this time, but was not high enough at all.
