Bliss Road Culvert Reconstruction

12/9/2021

0 Comments

 
​The Bliss Road culvert reconstruction was completed this summer in Sugar Grove, IL for the Kane County Division of Transportation as the initial improvement included in the upcoming realignment of the Bliss Road, Fabyan Parkway, and Main Street intersection project. The structure replacement was initiated because the existing culvert was a hydraulic restriction, causing significant flooding upstream and severe downstream erosion during flood events. It was constructed while maintaining northbound traffic using staged construction. Southbound traffic was detoured utilizing County routes.
 
Streambank stabilization measures were implemented along the downstream, northern bank of the Lake Run Drainage Ditch to address streambank erosion and enhance the native vegetation in the area. Vegetated rock vanes and rock toe were planted with native, wetland plant plugs. Various native seed mixes were also used to restore the disturbed area including a prairie mix, wet-mesic prairie mix and a wetland mix.
