Project Map

What is a Culvert?

A culvert is a tunnel-like structure that helps water flow under a road. This protects roads from potential damage, as water is directed away safely.

What is Culvert Rehabilitation?

Culvert rehabilitation involves repairing and strengthening the structures where water passes underneath the interstate. Over time, culverts can wear down or become damaged. By improving drainage, we can reduce the risk of flooding and protect the roadway for years to come
