Minnesota bridge on verge of collapsing following torrential rain, flooding

A bridge near the Rapidan Dam in Minnesota dam is on the verge of crumbling into the Blue Earth River following a barrage of heavy rain and flooding.

Heavy rain and flooding have pummeled the Midwest for days with Blue Earth River’s water levels rising dramatically, testing the structural integrity of the Rapidan Dam. Michael Dorgan is a writer for Fox News Digital and Fox Business.

The dam has already suffered a partial failure, which resulted in a house along the Blue Earth River near the dam falling into the river, and the dam store nearby being demolished. The Rapidan Dam is located about 14 miles south of Mankato in Southern Minnesota.
