What a weekend in downtown Hardwick!

Our bridge grand opening celebration was a huge success, and we couldn’t be more grateful to everyone who came out to celebrate this exciting milestone with us!

After months of construction, patience, and anticipation, we’re SO close to having our downtown back to normal!

This project was about so much more than a new bridge! After the devastating flooding our community has experienced, strengthening the retaining wall and critical infrastructure along Main Street was essential to protecting our downtown for years to come. While construction brought its challenges, these improvements represent an important investment in the safety, stability, and future of Hardwick.

🌳 Monday:Trees are going in, adding the finishing touches to our beautiful new streetscape!

🚗 Tuesday: The road is expected to reopen to normal traffic! The moment we’ve ALL been waiting for! 🙌

A huge thank you to our local businesses, community members, volunteers, and everyone who helped make this celebration possible. Your patience and support throughout this project have meant so much.

Here’s to a new chapter for downtown Hardwick!
