Creek Culvert

You might check into the legal aspect of what they do. It is grounds for a pretty good lawsuit if you can prove that they have rechanneled water that is flooding your property

That is my plan. If the road gets washed out again, it will be off to the lawyer's office for me. Thanks for the advice.

Thanks for all the good advice. It always pays to poll the experts here on TBN. As is usually the case, my first instinct on how to do this has a lot of flaws. I will take a pic next time I am at the farm and post it.

Another thought; do county road depts. have old culverts that they pull out from jobs they are working? I'm wondering if a campaign donation might get me a used one. Anyone ever try this approach?

Take the guys running the backhoe a dozen donuts or a sandwich something like that. They will hopefully ask their boss if you can have it and install it for you. At least that is how I got the culvert for my new driveway

Some of those lime truck drivers will amaze you at where they can and will go. I have seen them go on slopes that made me cringe. You might save yourself alot of trouble by getting them out for their opinion before you do anything. Talk to one of the drivers and see if he can swing by your place on his way home from work. Even if you have to pay him something for his time, you may be better off in the long run.

The suggestion of the temporary style wooden logging bridge is also a good solution for creek crossings, but not sure it would help with your slope issue without some additional work.
