Thompson Road Site Visit

The Squam Lakes Conservation Society (SLCS) is seeking bids from qualified contractors to repair and stabilize a deteriorated section of Thompson Road in Sandwich, NH. The project involves about 0.2 miles of unpaved road that has been impacted by erosion, surface wear, and culvert blockages. The goal is to restore road function, reduce ongoing erosion, and improve stormwater management for long-term durability.
