A platform for research: civil engineering, architecture and urbanism
Highway departments all through Western states are replacing dips to conform to modern highway standards by installation of pipe or pipe-arch culverts rather than construction of bridge; placement of culvert and embankment is more economical than bridge construction; structural plate corrugated metal pipe and pipe-arch make possible culverts up to 15 ft in diam; wide channels of draws and washes allow use of multiple openings.
