Each of the culverts is 36.6m long, with a width of approximately 2.8m and height of 1.5m. The culvert has structurally failed at sections along its length. Due to the nature of the failure a road load restriction (7.5tonnes) has been put in place to minimise the risk to the public.

During the Construction Phase, the contractor is required to cleaning the culvert, install a GRP lining, manage site preliminaries, provide temporary works, and conducting pre- and post-installation surveys.
