A pile of debris that includes roofing from the former Inn by the River in Hardwick rests near a pile of trees and other debris removed from the Lamoille River in a Vermont Agency of Transportation project along Route 15 west of Hardwick on Saturday, October 26. A portion of the Inn washed into the river during a storm and subsequent flooding in July 2023, then was removed completely and carted away just days before another flood event a year later further eroded the riverbank where it once stood.

Jeremy Reed, Chief Engineer said, “The Agency of Transportation (AOT) and the Agency of Natural Resources (ANR) are partnering in an effort to identify and remove flood debris that poses a risk to life and property in the event of another high water event. The work was identified and prioritized in consultation with the River Management Engineers at ANR and the removal is being conducted by AOT contractors.”
