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.
For years the Willamette River logjam on the Albany railroad bridge had grown every winter. On Tuesday it was being dismantled.
For the last week I have been away, sometimes riding a bike around Jacksonville in Southern Oregon but mainly taking it easy. So here are are few photos from around Albany over the last month.
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.
A surprising public notice by the City of Albany caught my eye last week. It notified people of a “floodplain development review” at The Banks, the apartment complex on the Willamette River.

Boaters, take note of obstructions in the river
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.
