Churchill Road Culvert Repair

Updated: Apr 29, 2024

Raleigh Stormwater Maintenance staff completed a temporary repair on the Churchill Road stormwater pipe. This pipe carries rain through the stormwater system. There were structural issues caused by the stream eroding near the pipe.

Complete

Our repairs will better stabilize the material under the pipe. This will ensure that stormwater flows through the pipe instead of underneath it. Repairs will protect the downstream stream channel and prevent erosion.

Work included: 

  • Putting a concrete wall on the upstream and downstream sides of the culvert.
  • Filling in voids under the culvert so that it does not continue to settle unevenly.

Additional work may be in the future to further protect the pipe.

History

This project was initially part of the Crabtree Creek Watershed Study. There was minimal flooding on Churchill Road from previous hurricanes. Flooding also didn't affect road safety. Repairs were previously made in 2013 to prevent sinkholes from forming.
