Peavine Road Slope

Bethel, Vermont | Town of Bethel

A 200-ft-long by 20-ft-high town roadway embankment was destabilized by scour from the White River from spring snow melt and a storm event. The Town of Bethel applied for and received FEMA funding and engaged D&K to evaluate, survey, design, and provide permitting assistance and construction phase services for repairs to the slope and the roadway. The project included significant geotechnical analysis and modeling supported by a subconsultant partner. D&K designed site and roadway drainage improvements, slope stabilization, and slope armoring.
