Anyone know the story on what happened to the barge that capsized immediately north of the Pitt River bridge (eastern shore).
One barge appears to be sunk, and the one beside it is completely flipped over. I saw it when I was driving over the bridge and couldn't get a photo, but found one pretty easily on Reddit (nothing in the news though):
I sent an inquiry to the Harbour Master for Port of Vancouver, as they have jurisdiction over this area (up to Grant Narrows), and they said they were aware of it - seems like it happened on Sept 2.
One barge seems to still be tied to the adjacent pile, but the capsized barge seems like it is just sitting there - potentially a hazard to the bridge (as well as the train bridge). The lack of any real news coverage or apparent urgency on this stuff is always a bit frustrating.
