Wouldn't it be cheaper tobuilda concrete dam with a pathway, insstead of using therubber,andbuilding an expensive bridge. What awaste of money.

How would you open a concrete dam enough for the spring run-off flows? It might be doable but I'm betting it would be very expensive. Keep in mind the amount of stuff being washed down the river in flood, it isn't like the fairly clean water flowing over most dams.
