A fluid diversion conduit is provided for temporarily diverting a stream during pipeline construction activities. The conduit includes an offset section that is shiftable to adjust access to the streambed, for example to allow pipeline installation across the streambed. When construction activities are obstructed by the initial position of the offset segment, the offset segment may be shifted, for example by rotation to elevate the offset segment from the streambed. Further construction activities may proceed beneath the elevated section, and pipelayers can pass under it while carrying the pipe string into position. Flow through the conduit may be maintained by siphon hydraulics or by pumps when the offset segment is elevated.
