Phase III  Oak bay roadside ditch modification

Culverts across Oak Bay Road from Montgomery Lane to Swansonville Road.

Culvert at Montgomery Lane	Culvert half way between Montgomery Lane and Baldwin Lane	Culvert half way between Baldwin Lane and Swansonville Road

The entrance to these culverts have been modified to allow the flow of water into the culvert only in the event of an extremely large event.  In a normal rainfall water will flow south to Baldwin lane and Swansonville road which are designed to accommodate larger quantities of water.  The culvert at Baldwin lane has been modified by installing a basin to receive the water diverted from the above culverts and consolidate it and transport it to the bay.

Regrading of ditch

 As you can see the culvert modifications are complete.  The ditch has been regraded  to facilitate the flow of water towards the basin at Baldwin lane.   Grass seed has been placed under the straw to assist in stabilizing the soil.  Since this work was accomplished in the County right of way we are awaiting their acceptance of the work after which they will reimburse the District in the amount of $11,637.00.  This was the final phase of the Oak Bay road to the bay drainage project began in 2004.
