South Main Street Retaining Wall Project

Beginning last Friday, February 27, 2026, construction started at the South Main Street retaining wall and pedestrian bridge site. This work is expected to continue into early summer.

All downtown businesses remain open during construction.

Restaurants, shops, and services in the South Main Street, Mill Street, and Wolcott Street area will remain open and accessible throughout the project. The Town encourages residents and visitors to continue stopping downtown to shop, dine, and support the local businesses that are an essential part of Hardwick’s community and economy.

The project area includes portions of:
• Mill Street
• South Main Street
• Wolcott Street (VT Routes 14 & 15)

During construction, traffic will be reduced to one lane with alternating traffic lights, and some delays should be expected.

Please plan ahead and allow extra travel time when traveling through the area. Access to businesses will be maintained throughout construction.

This project represents an important investment in strengthening and protecting downtown infrastructure. The Town appreciates the community’s patience while this work moves forward and thanks everyone for continuing to support downtown Hardwick.
