Hydraulic modeling and performance evaluation of low water crossings in Illinois
The Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) and local agencies monitor and regulate the 146,764 miles of roadway that are open to public travel in the State of Illinois. There are many old and aging bridges, culverts, and low water crossings on rural low-volume roads that need to be replaced. …
