Fish Pond Road Tender

Project Limits: Mileposts 1.87 to 1.91(Fish Pond Road)
Mileposts 0.00 to 0.80 (Duncan Road)
Federal Classification: Rural Major Collector (07)
Project Description: This project will replace an undersized
10’ culvert on Fish Pond Road, replace a bridge with a failing
headwall on Duncan Road, and construct other improvements
to improve drainage and address ongoing sediment deposition.
These structures are hydraulically connected on the stream
corridor so at this time they are being studied for replacement
simultaneously.
Basis for Project: The existing culvert on Fish Pond Road is
undersized and fills with sediment causing roadway flooding.
The headwall of the Duncan Road Bridge is undermined and
needs to be replaced.
Environmental/Safety Concerns: Roadway flooding causes short term safety issues for drivers (having to
utilize alternate routes or risking driving through moving water and being floated down stream). In addition the
water can cause damaged to the roadway embankment and/or the foundation of the culvert increasing the
probability of roadway collapse. The failing headwall is beginning to impact the traveled way and is causing
narrowing of Duncan Road.
Culvert replacement projects require that various environmental permits are obtained and in water work
conditions met to protect the aquatic habitat.
Funding Sources: This project will be funded by local road funds.
