The Twentynine Palms Channel Culvert Project at El Rey Avenue has reached completion pending the installation of a pedestrian fence, which project supervisors expect to be finished by the end of May. El Rey Avenue is still open for public use.
In an announcement, County Supervisor Dawn Rowe described the Twentynine Palms Channel Culvert Project as a testament to the collaborative efforts of the City of Twentynine Palms and the San Bernardino County Public Works Flood Control District.
The project included a triple reinforced concrete box, concrete rock slope protection, and curb, gutter, and sidewalk upgrades. These enhancements are designed to mitigate the risk of roadway flooding during storms and bolster flood protection for nearby structures by enhancing drainage.
