Background

Pell Road, a Secondary Route located in Stokes County, was completely washed away due to heavy rains in the area. The existing Multi-barrel pipes could no longer carry the excessive amount of storm water generated from the recent rains and the ends of the existing culvert were unprotected making the pipes vulnerable to scour.

Stokes County, NC Pell Road repaired using aluminum headwall with box culvert
