Culverts are devices used to allow flow of water beneath roads and access points were passage is necessary. They are often used to dispose of runoff from roadway ditches, and to preserve road beds, ditches, and banks. Strategic placement will help alleviate flooding of roadways, reduce erosion, and reduce overall maintenance problems.
There are two main types of culverts: stream-crossing culverts or runoff management culverts. Stream-crossing culverts placed where roads meet water channels. The culvert adverts the water underneath it. Runoff management culverts are placed to manage runoff away from roadways. These types of culverts are commonly used to transport upland runoff and the runoff accumulation in ditches and sides of roadways, away for disposal.
