What are culverts?

Culverts are structures that allow water to flow under roads, railways, or trails, helping to manage drainage and prevent flooding. They can be made from various materials, including concrete, metal, or plastic, and come in different shapes, such as circular or rectangular. Culverts serve to maintain the natural flow of streams and rivers while providing a passage for vehicles and pedestrians. Properly designed and maintained culverts are essential for infrastructure longevity and environmental protection.
