Project Limits: Wren Loop Road Milepost 0.28 to 0.31
White Road Milepost 0.04 to 0.07
Federal Classification: Rural Local Access (09)
Project Description: The failed 36" diameter culvert and two smaller culverts on Wren Loop Road will be replaced with and 18-foot span culvert. The White road culverts will be replaced with a 14-foot span culvert. The project will also include development of a simulated stream bottom through the new culverts, guardrail installation and roadway repairs.
