Stonebrook Street Culvert Project

Stonebrook Street Culvert Project

The City of Visalia proposes to construct a culvert over Packwood Creek. The culvert will provide the infrastructure necessary to construct a future north-south roadway between W. Caldwell Avenue and W. Cameron Avenue. The purpose of this Project is to improve vehicle transportation access in the area and the Project was identified in the City’s General Plan (2014) and corresponding Environmental Impact Report. Project implementation will affect approximately 290 linear feet of Packwood Creek and will involve widening the channel above and below the culvert, grading within the channel, construction of structures in the creek bed, placement of concrete rip-rap on the creek bed downstream of the culvert, and installation of an erosion control blanket on the upper channel banks upstream and downstream of the proposed culvert. The following structures will be constructed in the creek bed: • 94 linear feet of 8X12 double box culvert per Caltrans Standard Plan D81; • 53 linear feet of 13-foot high type “B” wingwalls per Caltrans Standard Plan D84; • 26 linear feet of 8-foot high type “B” wingwalls per Caltrans Standard Plan D84; • A concrete headwall structure for erosion control from two (2) pumps with 12” and 15” pipes. This system is a backup for the storm drain ponding basin in the area.
