County Bridge Crew Rehabs Bentley Road Arch
The Bentley Road culvert is located just south of Hillville Road in Richland Township. This structure is a flagstone arch culvert built around the turn of the century. Being built on bedrock, this culvert was in great shape other than on the sides, where the old headwalls were falling in. We decided to save this "historic" culvert by building new headwalls on the inlet and outlet sides to prevent the roadway from caving in. In the process, this widened the culvert by approximately four feet and enabled new guardrail to be installed securely. This turned out to be a great project by improving safety and preserving the flagstone culvert, all while at minimal expense to the county.
