BACKGROUND
During the first storm event of 2017, Big Trees Creek in White Pines experienced extreme water flows which flanked the culvert headwall under Main Street, eroded the culvert backfill and roadway which subsequently collapsed into the creek. This crossing is a County-maintained road.

The washed out culvert was a 48” corrugated steel pipe (CSP), placed behind a reinforced concrete headwall. The County is currently purchasing a temporary bridge for the location. This work consists of off-loading the pre-engineered bridge, installing the bridge, and providing asphalt conform for the roadway and pedestrian path.
