Interstate 10 east of Houston looks like an ocean

(CNN) Logan Wheat went out on a small boat to check on cattle and ended up capturing one of the most startling photos of flooding from Harvey.
What used to be Interstate 10, south of Beaumont, looked like an ocean, with waves lapping.
This split-screen shows what that stretch of I-10 looked like before Harvey hit -- and what it looks like now.
The wind-churned waves almost tipped Wheat's boat over, he told CNN.
"The boat was being thrown around a lot," he said.
The waves, he added, were "anywhere from three to four feet."

The road will be demolished.

That's what I was getting ready to ask. So I guess the interstate will have to be repaired in a lot of places

How long are they estimating for the water to recede? That is absolutely ridiculous.

I wonder how much of the embankment is washing away?

Maybe.
HWY 90 in South MS had a lot of road that was totally fine after 20 feet of water with loose Casino barges passed over them during Katrina.
I'd bet you'd be somewhat surprised how much won't be needing extensive repairs.
Of course, bridges are going to be an issue, along with any sinkholes.

I'm not sure I'd be running at that speed over flood waters (though it was probably not his first trip).
