Bullitt County Stream Crossing

The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet saw the benefits of utilizing an Aluminum Box Culvert based on the aluminum invert and its ability to provide a single span opening to pass debris. Because the Aluminum Box Culvert could be put together in a nearby field, then lifted by a track hoe and set into place, road closure time was held to a minimum of just three days.

Use of an aluminum headwall and wingwalls also contributed to the ease of installation. The structure was designed to support HS-25 live load with 1.4-ft. to 4-ft. of cover.
