Harpeth Bridge Log Jam


Thanks to observant Ewingville neighbors the log jam at the Harpeth River Bridge on Highway 96 has been cleared.

Several weeks ago a couple walking to town noticed the logs in the river at the bridge.  Memories of the 2010 flood for Ewingville surfaced and they began to inquire.

Alderman Ann Petersen was notified.  She in turn wrote to Joe York, with the City overseeing storm drains.

The responsibility for clearing the logs belongs to TDOT.  Mr. York initiated this effort.
 
The logs have now been moved from the bridge.  Clearly getting involved brought results.
