Abstract:

The availability of state and federal monies to replace local bridges has allowed engineers to evaluate watershed management in conjunction with the bridges' physical replacement. By using computer-driven watershed models, engineers can incorporate flood reduction measures into bridge replacements. Bridge and culvert openings have been restricted and modified to temporarily store flood runoff on low-volume county and township roads. The result can be an economical bridge replacement with a significant reduction in peak runoff. Properly designed and constructed, road detention structures can modernize the rural transportation network of farm-to-market roads. The background and procedure for designing detention structures are outlined.
