The same thing here at Toledo Bend Reservoir; the lake can drop 30 feet and you'll be able to see the steeples of churches, highway bridges, and houses and school buildings. Creepy, in a way.

There's an old bridge in Table Rock Lake. When the dam was completed, MSHD had built the new MO-13 bridge high enough for the present-day lake levels, and they were in the process of removing the old bridge. However, a sudden storm caused the White River to fill up the new reservoir much more quickly than anticipated, leaving the highway department to abandon the bridge and all the construction equipment on it to the rising water. It's all still under there.

That's the same exact story that was given to me by people at Toledo Bend. The main difference is that Louisiana didn't finish the dam until bridges were built. Let's get some certified divers and make an abandoned underwater Roadmeet!

Lexington Reservoir south of San Jose was created on top of CA-17, which was re-routed to the west; when the lake is low you can not only see remnants of bridges and pavement, but foundations for buildings in the two towns that were submerged under the reservoir (Lexington and Alma).

I'm there. I'll get certification for that.
