WABASHA, Minn. – After being flooded 1-1/2 weeks, the dip in the main road into Wabasha, under the Canadian Pacific mainline, has drained enough for traffic to be allowed through. The Mississippi River had crested at a record level. The state Transportation Department diverted traffic into town elsewhere to get to the Michael Duane Clickner Memorial Bridge to Wisconsin.
