Step 2: Drainage Improvement
Keeping water away from the roadbed is very important. Drainage ditches are either created or improved on either side of the roadway. Culverts are installed where the road crosses streams. Driveway culverts are installed as needed to improve drainage.
 
THE OLD CULVERT IS DUG UP
Old culverts are crushed and sold for scrap, saving citizens money.
THE OLD CULVERT IS REMOVED
The old culvert is removed to the side of the road for later pickup.
THE NEW CULVERT IS PUT INTO PLACE
AND IS COVERED UP
This new culvert will transport water away from the road for many years.
