Now that warm weather is likely to lure more boaters out on the Willamette River, allow me to point out a couple of new hazards in the water off Albany’s Dave Clark Riverfront Path.
Now that the job of clearing a big pile of river debris is complete, let’s take one more look at the Albany railroad bridge where the work was done.
Workers for Advanced American Construction on Wednesday made progress in dismantling the big logjam under the Albany railroad bridge.
For years the Willamette River logjam on the Albany railroad bridge had grown every winter. On Tuesday it was being dismantled.

On Friday morning, a faithful reader asked a question in the comments on this site. I gave a quick answer but then got on the bike to make sure my answer was right.
