Bank Work

Share article
Work to stabilize the river bank at Gail and David O’Brien’s River House on River St. in East Hardwick was one of three Hardwick properties approved for funding from the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service following July 2023 flooding. New England Consulting Engineering in Morrisville developed the project, which was more complicated than the two others that were completed in 2024. A large excavator was used to drop smaller equipment down to the river by lowering it over the bank.

Workers with J. Merrill Construction of Middlesex complete bank stabilization and foundation work at River House on Main St. in East Hardwick earlier this month. The area was accessed with a steep ladder, with sandbagging used as needed, then a pump truck poured the concrete. The O’Brien’s expect to begin renting the property again after having to close it in 2023 following the July flood due to instability
of the bank.
