A swollen Rio Grande, driven by dam releases upstream and rain-swollen tributaries following last week's Hurricane Alex, pushes against International Bridge 1, foreground, which remains closed, and International Bridge 2, background, still open, Friday, July 9, 2010 in Laredo, Texas. The river has crested, but is not expected to drop for several days. (AP Photo/Eric Gay)
