Gooseneck Bend Slope

Weybridge, Vermont | Town of Weybridge

Along Otter Creek, a 160-ft-long, 20-ft-high slide occurred on the Gooseneck Bend Road embankment, disrupting the roadway’s stability. The Town of Weybridge secured FEMA funding and engaged D&K to evaluate the failure and design long-term improvements that armored the embankment along the roadway using stone armoring and plantings, stabilizing the immediately adjacent gravel road.
