Yup, it works. A little bird sent in the photo shown of the Lewis and Clark Bridge in Jeffers Gardens all spiffy-looking and doing its drawbridge thing last week. The bridge had been closed for renovation since last December, and finally opened the Friday before Labor Day (too late for locals to avoid all that summer tourist traffic, more’s the pity).

The boat going under it, by the way, is the F/V Maverick, of “Deadliest Catch” fame, heading upriver. To Astoria Marine Construction Co., perhaps?
