Project Benefits
Purpose
The purpose of this project is to repair and replace existing culverts in Kings County on State Routes 33, 41, 43, 198, and 269 at various post mile locations. This project proposes to restore 49 existing culvert drainage systems to a state of good condition. Replacing and repairing the clogged culverts is necessary to maintain the operational integrity of the drainage systems. Maintaining these systems will extend the life of the culverts, and these elements are crucial for the stability and proper functioning of the roadway.
Need
State Routes 33, 41, 43, 198, and 269 in Kings County have clogged culverts that require restoration. The identified culverts have perforations, heavy rust, joint separations, damaged end treatments and/or channels clogged with sediment and debris.
