RIVER OBSTRUCTION REMOVAL gets federal grant allocation - The 2019 flood substantially damaged the railroad bridges over the Platte River northwest of Plattsmouth. The railroads built a levy for access in the repair process. That causeway left a sandbar and a buildup of debris downstream several hundred yards with the obstruction covering up to two-thirds of the channel. Above is the Google Earth view of the area. The full report from Cassgram on the grant announcement is in the Cassgram Archives 2/27/24. (above from Google Earth)
