Document Description
The Project will repair portions of Bell Springs Road damaged during the heavy rains experienced in the winter of 2017. Heavy storms saturated the road surface and embankment resulting in a slip-out that will likely continue to erode. The Project will install a soldier pile wall located along the outboard edge of the western road approaches that would not impact the watercourse. A combination of wall spacers and under drains will prevent water from accumulating behind the wall and saturating road base and surrounding earthen material. The existing culvert will be removed and replaced with a culvert sized to accommodate the 100-year flood flow. The culvert length will remain the same.
