This is an online event.ASCE NH & VT Joint November Virtual Meeting - Nov. 18
Join us November 18, 2021 at 12:00 pm for a virtual presentation of the Downtown Tunnel Project located in Lebanon, New Hampshire. Gregory Goodrich, PE and Michael Willard, PLA, LEED AP from VHB will lead the presentation and discuss technical aspects of the project.
VHB worked closely with the City of Lebanon, NH to rehabilitate its downtown former railway tunnel. The Project included a deck replacement with a weathertight translucent enclosure near the middle of the plaza and tunnel to create a focal point for the concourse and allow for natural lighting inside the tunnel.
The rehabilitated tunnel also serves as a link connecting the Mascoma River Greenway and Northern Rail Trail and restored vehiular access over the tunnel. The Project was completed in the summer of 2021 and had its official reopening on July 8, 2021.
The tunnel and plaza improvmenets have contributed towards a vibrant and safer downtown area that will benefit the community through enhanced bicycle/pedestrian mobility and increased user experience, as well as support quality of life and econimic vitality for the City of Lebanon.
