Road and Bridge reports higher-than-expected estimate for CR 46 culvert; staff proposes phased work

Mar 17, 2026

Road and Bridge reported an estimate to build a shallow concrete box culvert across County Road 46 after two 12-inch culverts proved inadequate; staff said the box culvert estimate was higher than expected and proposed doing part of the work now and returning later to finish.

The full story

Mike Burri of Road and Bridge described options to address drainage under County Road 46, noting two existing 12-inch culverts and limitations caused by the back pipe that reduce available space. Burri said crews could construct a shallow concrete box culvert across the road but the estimate for the concrete box was "more expensive than expected." He described a phased approach: build a portion now and return later to complete the remaining section.
