Bridge Rebuilding Project Blamed For Dangerous River Conditions
I've heard of construction projects causing a lot of congestion and traffic problems, but here's a new one- the Barker Road Bridge reconstruction project is being blamed for increasing danger on the river.
The bridge is supposedly snagging lots of logs and debris, causing a jam-up under it. This could cause people using the river to get stuck as well, as was the case with one rafter over the weekend.
Here's the story from the Spokesman-Review.
