Ten Mile River Bank Stabilization and Restoration Project

City of Attleboro, Massachusetts

The Attleboro Redevelopment Authority (ARA) received funding from a supplemental environmental program (SEP) fine for a river bank restoration project on the Ten Mile River as part of their downtown urban renewal plan. The Horsley Witten Group, Inc. (HW) has been contracted to develop a design for the site that includes stabilizing and restoring approximately 1,800 linear feet of river bank and associated resources between a new street, the Wall Street/Olive Street Connector Road, and the Ten Mile River. In addition, this project includes the design of a transit-related multi-use path and associated landscaping.

HW has prepared a planning level concept for the proposed river restoration to approximately the 10% design level and has presented the plan to stakeholders at a public meeting. The concept plan includes three main aspects: the proposed limits of bank stabilization measures, areas for invasive species management and riverfront area restoration, and a transit-related multi-use path layout.

Once the concept plan has been finalized, HW will continue to develop 75% design plans; secure necessary local, State, and Federal permits and approvals; and complete the construction documents for the project.
