River Usk blockage

[cobra]

Be aware that the bridge at Trallong is blocked with trees and is a portage at normal level.

On the Sennybridge to Aberbran section.

It was only just possible to paddle over at c.0.9m on Trallong gauge Friday.

That sounds like the kind of blockage that should be reported to NRW under the subject of "blocked main watercourses that might pose a risk of flooding". They will probably take action to clear it or get the landowner to do it.

They won't care about it being a threat to navigation or safety, only flood risk, but the fact that it almost completely blocks the river is a good demonstration of how bad it is. I'm not going to report it myself as I don't know the river and there seems to be more than one bridge in the area.

It regularly collects debris & is cleared by the relevant authorities - as it also threatens the integrity of the road bridge!

Another bridge further down is a potential hazard as it is falling apart, but that is on a private estate...
