The culvert at Lake County Road 4 at the Arkansas River becomes blocked regularly, creating overflows, washouts, and inlet flooding. Additionally, low flow conditions at the culvert prevents aquatic passage. Replacement of this culvert will improve stream health by creating a natural stream bottom, increasing floodplain connectivity, and allowing for aquatic organism passage. The replacement will also minimize potential debris blockage, simplifying maintenance on managers.
Replacement is scheduled for fall of 2025.
