Purcell Park Bridge Erosion Repair

Project Date: Fall 2018

Partners: Harrisonburg Parks and Recreation and Public Works Departments

Funding: Shenandoah Valley Pure Water Forum Grant

Volunteers: None

Stormwater runoff was causing severe erosion next to one of the bridges in Purcell Park. The area was regraded, concrete was poured where the gully used to be, and rip-rap was added for reinforcement. Jute mesh was put down and the area was seeded with a native seed mix.
