Errett Road Drainage Work - 2025?
|
Click for original culvert elevations
|
"Downstream" Conditions
Water from this road drains into the ditch on the east side of Kent Ave.
From there, the water travels north along Kent Ave to a culvert under the road between Bayberry and Short Rds, and eventually to the Assawoman Canal.
DNREC has been working on a plan to improve the drainage along Kent Ave.
Existing Driveway Culverts
Several collapsing culverts have been replaced by MBA; one has been temporarily "stented".
Additionally, some property owners have paid for culvert replacement/expansions.
Existing Conditions
The ditches along Errett are shallower than most of the rest of the community, and need to be lowered (or actually created in the first place) and made wider.
Upcoming Work
Not all driveways will be impacted; each is being evaluated individually. MBA met with Lyndon Hitchens on March 18 and discussed the work we'd like done. See the below chart for (not final) details.
Existing Photos
The below pictures, starting at the western end, were taken in March 2025.
The webmaster is too lazy at the moment to properly code it, so please right-click on any photo to see a larger version...
Additional basic notes have been entered for each driveway, and more certainly will be added.
Such as, oh, say, elevations...
