Culvert PK-23 carries a Park Road (Commissioners Cabin Road) over Big Gulf Creek. The existing culvert consists of twin 5 ft. diameter corrugated metal pipes. The pipe invert in both spans is deteriorated with some section loss and perforations present. There is also erosion of the channel at the outlet of the pipes. The culvert was rated 4 in the last inspection. Culvert PK-26 carries a Park Road (Ward Road) over a Branch of Eighteen Mile creek. The existing culvert is a reinforced concrete frame.
