Soulajule Emergency Culvert Replacement Project

The Project consists of the emergency, in-kind replacement of a failed 120-linear-foot, 72-inch corrugated metal pipe (CMP) culvert beneath 3 Peaks Fire Road adjacent to Soulajule Reservoir. The existing culvert has failed and separated at two coupling locations, with portions of the culvert displaced into the channel. The failure has resulted in erosion, sinkhole formation, and degradation of the roadway embankment, creating an imminent risk of roadway failure. The roadway provides the only access to a residence and critical District water supply infrastructure at Soulajule Reservoir. District access to the critical water infrastructure in this area is necessary to ensure uninterrupted delivery of water service. The failed culvert will be replaced in-kind with a new 120-linear-foot, 72-inch CMP culvert within the same alignment and serving the same drainage function. Associated work will include excavation and backfilling, restoration of the roadway and embankment, and installation of rock slope protection at the culvert inlet and outlet to stabilize the embankment and reduce future erosion. Disturbed areas will be restored following completion of the work.
