Erosion control dams replace old wooden bridges
Former wooden bridges had to be lengthened or replaced frequently, as banks and bottoms of gullies were unstable; now, old wooden bridges are being replaced with modern concrete erosion control structures; flood water detention type is used when there is adequate silt and water storage available; concrete culvert type with chute outlet is designed to carry full flow of gully through without erosion.
