As you may know, I have a 10' culvert pipe in my driveway where I cross a creek. It has been there for about 17 years. I put it in when I bought this property. I need to replace it before I concrete my driveway, so I've been looking at options for several years now. I am supposed to go look at a bridge that was built going into a subdivision on Tuesday. My buddy who is in the excavating business has had dozens and dozens of bridges built for him on various projects. Since I'll be funding 100% of this project, price does matter.
I'll be going to look at a modular bridge. It's obvious advantages are price, the ability to do it myself, and strength. Also, after installed, they have masons come out and lay stone around it to make it look like the one pictured previously here. It sounds neat to me. I'll know more about it after I see it. If you want, I'll send you some of the pics I intend to take of it as well as the copies of the brochures.
