Talbot County Department of Public Works will replace the culvert beneath Chapel Road at Wootenaux Creek in Easton to improve roadway safety and drainage capacity.

The project will require a temporary closure of Chapel Road between Black Dog Alley and Gannon Road while crews remove the existing culvert and install a new structure designed to support long-term roadway stability.

Due to environmental regulations, the project will utilize a bottomless culvert, which preserves the natural stream channel and aquatic habitat but requires a longer construction timeline. This design will also reduce long-term maintenance by minimizing clogging from debris and will improve roadway safety through the addition of guardrails along the corridor.

    The Chapel Road Culvert Project continues to move forward as crews prepare for the next phase of construction. The team is currently working to set up the bypass system needed to safely divert the stream during construction. This step is critical to maintaining water flow while allowing work on the culvert to proceed. Road-related construction activities are expected to begin shortly as the project transitions into more visible on-site work.
