Flood debris removal continues

With a steel lifting chain in hand, Georgia Department of Transportation special unit employees Dean Smith and James Carpenter climb atop an island of logs and limbs deposited against Cobb Bridge near the corner of Industrial Boulevard and South Main Street during last year’s December flooding. The Cartersville GDOT crew was in town to remove the lingering flood debris last Wednesday. Two weeks ago, GDOT workers removed a similar pile of flood debris from under the NA West Bridge at the intersection of First Avenue and Highway 52 in East Ellijay.
