Bridge File 75497
The existing bridge-sized culvert crosses a Tributary to Lloyd Creek on Range Road 24. The site (SW 21-45-2-5) is located northeast of Hoadley. The existing crossing consists of a single 1.8 m x 1.1 m x 13.4 m long arch CSP culvert.
The recommended replacement structure is a single 2.7 m dia. CSP culvert by 29.0 m invert length. This option was chosen based on hydraulic and fish passage adequacy as well as cost. The single culvert alternative will have a larger road grade raise but is the more cost-effective alternative and provides more freeboard for the road surface. The detour length is 6.5 km.
