Does anyone know how much below the highway itself this is?

I'm not sure how high the 190 spillway bridge is. Obviously higher than 11 feet, but I'm not sure. I would guess around 20 feet from ground level, but it's hard to tell unless you've actually been under there.

It's at least 20 ft. probably more. My friend has/had hunting property in the spillway. I would say between 25-30ft.

I just went over it. The water is roughly 12 feet from the 190 Morganza Spillway Bridge (the long bridge).

The Atchafalaya Rvr at Krotz Springs is very high, which is to be expected.

3 Mile Lake is fine - for now.

The area just outside (west) of Krotz Springs is dry.

It was just past Big Alabama this morning. The Atchafalaya is pretty high but not even against the levees from Melville to Simmesport
