Flood flow would be low under bridge and overbank flow around the
bridge.
Energy method would be better when a large percentage of flow is
in overbank
Alternative method would be to model as Multiple Opening with
Conveyance zones

Hydraulic Structures
Use caution and judgment in modeling hydraulic
structures does the output make sense?
Field observations of the structures under
various flow conditions is helpful
