Welcome to the February edition of the Dover Waterfront Newsletter. The whole area continues to change and evolve on what feels like a daily basis. Due to mild winter weather in early January, 2025 has started on track.
Site work continues
The ongoing construction along the Nebi Park shoreline has reached a significant milestone with the completion of the living shoreline up to station 1+00, which is across from the Farm restaurant. Only a small section remains unfinished, pending the installation of the granite block stairs element, closer to the Makem Bridge. The living shoreline is a technique that incorporates natural elements to protect against shoreline erosion
Meanwhile, the construction of the granite sea wall is progressing on the northern, upriver side of the existing bulkhead area. Additionally, water and sewer installations along Seaport Way within the right-of-way have been successfully completed, marking a crucial step forward in the infrastructure enhancements.
Eversource has successfully relocated both utility poles and their associated wires, including telecommunications lines. The removal of the old poles and guide wires has cleared the way for the city's contractor, Northeast Earth Mechanics (NEEM), to proceed with the remaining drainage and road improvements.
Onsite processing of rock and stone material continues to generate materials essential for completing the park creation and constructing the drainage infrastructure projects. Furthermore, subgrade improvements at the Building “F” footprint are ongoing. The stockpiled materials generated from Cathartes’ work area, are actively being transported to the dredge cell area for further stockpiling. These materials were leftover remains in the ground from historic uses and are not suitable for building upon.
Work will continue in the Cochecho River on the shoreline treatment into March as allowed by the permit from the Army Corps of Engineers. Once that work is completed, site work will focus on Nebi Park.
