The hydraulics of the Weiser River constantly move rock and gravel around, especially in high-water years. Washington County commissioners would like to see a gravel bar that has developed upstream about a half-mile from the U.S. Highway 95 bridge in Weiser removed. The gravel bar directs the river flow into a bend in the river and could cause erosion. Removing the rock would flatten out the river and slow the water down.
