On the bridge this morning I met workers removing staging from beneath the bridge. They had begun to put it in place the day before, with plans to fine tune the cables stabilizing the structure from below. "So it doesn't look like a banana some day," I recall the foreman saying. Last minute word from FEMA, though, was that the money to pay for the work would not be available until December, he said. His workers hauled immensely long aluminum gangways back up the steep bank. I did not ask him why FEMA was involved, but one guess would be the Irene flood had an impact on those cables.
The river continues to lower. Rain forecasted over the next days will bring it up again.
