What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Athens County Planner Connor LaVelle announced that bids to clear a logjam beneath the Currier Street bike path bridge will close November 16. The project requires contractors to remove logs without allowing them to drift downstream and to separate and recycle any solid waste present. LaVelle reported significant interest in the project from both local and outside firms, including one located in Indiana.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The clearing project is expected to reduce the river's flowrate and prevent further erosion near the Kanawha River Railroad. The County Commissioner, Charlie Adkins, questioned whether the clearing would cause erosion issues, to which LaVelle responded that it should benefit the railroad's berm.
