    A two-lane paved road has been severely undermined and collapsed due to flood erosion, with a fast-moving, sediment-laden brown river now occupying the former roadbed. The asphalt has fractured and caved in, exposing sandy subsoil layers beneath. Residential structures and pine trees are visible in the background against a mountainous landscape under clear blue skies.

    Flood damage around the town of Estes Park, Colo., Sept. 20, 2013. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers deployed personnel to Colorado under the direction of the Federal Emergency Management Agency for assessing and evaluating the safety of drinking water and wastewater systems in the affected areas. If a system proves semi-operational or nonoperational, team members include recommendations on ways to bring the system back up to operational status. (Photo by Gary Sasse)

    The image shows flood damage along a river or waterway, with muddy brown floodwaters carrying debris including broken concrete slabs, pipes, and wood. A steel pedestrian or trail bridge with a curved railing is visible on the left side, appearing to have survived but with its approach or abutment damaged. The surrounding area shows signs of significant flooding with deposited sediment, displaced infrastructure materials, and disturbed terrain.
    A two-lane paved road has been severely undermined and collapsed due to flood erosion, with a fast-moving, sediment-laden brown river now occupying the former roadbed. The asphalt has fractured and caved in, exposing sandy subsoil layers beneath. Residential structures and pine trees are visible in the background against a mountainous landscape under clear blue skies.
    A two-lane mountain road has suffered severe flood damage, with the left lane and shoulder completely eroded away by a stream running along its edge. A yellow utility pipe or hose is suspended over the eroded channel, likely a temporary measure to maintain a utility line. A cyclist in a red jacket is riding on the remaining intact portion of the road in the background.
    The image shows significant flood damage to a concrete bridge and surrounding infrastructure. The bridge deck appears intact but its approaches have been severely eroded, leaving it disconnected from the roadway on both sides. Debris including uprooted trees, branches, and sediment are scattered throughout the flood-scoured channel, and a utility pole is visibly leaning at a dangerous angle.
    The image shows significant flood damage to a rural mountain road, where erosion has undermined and collapsed sections of the asphalt pavement, exposing broken slabs of road surface in an active stream channel. A small creek or stream now flows through what was previously a road corridor, with extensive sediment deposition and rock debris visible on both banks. The surrounding landscape features conifer and deciduous trees showing autumn foliage, utility lines, and mountainous terrain in the background.
