Photos: Flooded Escambia River Pushes Log Jam Against Highway 4 Bridge

January 21, 2020

Floodwaters have pushed a large log jam in the Escambia River against the Highway 4 bridge between Century and Jay. There has not been any reported damage to the bridge from the log jam, and the Florida Department of Transportation said midday Tuesday that a maintenance team has been dispatched to remove the debris.

The Escambia River was at about 17.75 feet at the time of these photosMonday, just above flood stage of 17 feet.

    When the river goes up it flows into forest land or flood plan forests, and basically lifts any dead fallen timber and any currents will pust it out to the main river, then it travels down stream.

    Wonder where all the logs are coming from? I use to fish on Escambia river years ago and never came across a log jam.
