MANKATO, Minn. (KEYC) - The project to stabilize the Minnesota River bank in Mankato has been going on for over a year , with a section of the Minnesota River Trail closing last week so further work can be done. The Minnesota River Bank Stabilization Project is aiming to repair damage caused by precipitation and varying levels, and the city says that the project is vital in NOT ONLY protecting Mankato's riverside infrastructure from erosion, BUT keeping the river itself clean. 'One of the big mechanisms of damage that we see is there's a lot of trees that come up on the river bank and the river bank is very steep, so as erosion impacts the tree.
