If the rip rap runaround from urgent repairs is not a lasting solution, investigate options for a culvert placed in the hillside ditch to allow access to 26g.

​

What material? Plastic is cheaper, concrete is easier to clean out. 

​

What size pipe 12", 18', 24"? Each requires excavation of a deeper ditch to bury it in. 

​

​

RIP IT OUT COMPLETELY grade and compact  to out-slope. Everyone who is asked about that patch says the same thing, "What if it's there for a reason?"

Monitor the conditions for impact and resurface the area if needed.

​

EXTEND THE PATCH across the road. This requires preparation, framing area for poured concrete. New concrete does not bond with old so significant cracks will appear. Once the road is widened we may find that extending all the way across is more concrete than is already there.

​

RIP IT OUT & CREATE A NEW PATCH  since the prep is the same for extending as it is for a new pour, just more concrete, create a better area with a water bar across the top and an outlet at the bottom. Consider asphalt instead of concrete. One is cheaper, the other lasts longer.

​

Good drainage can reduce the amount of water we send across the seaside road, but it's not enough.

​

The Horsley-Witten team plans on providing options for solving this problem. The big culvert pipe near the bottom runs under the shoreline road and out to sea. Right now it is clogged. That culvert is under the purview of VI Public Works Dept.
