Exit Quad-culvert

Exit Quad-culvert

Description

Coming out of the culverts, flow is initially separated by high dirt/grass berms. It is entirely possible that wood which does not hang-up on the culvert entrances could (upon exiting the culverts) become lodged between the earth berms. It would be irresponsible and risky to enter any of the four culverts (if/when passage is even possible) without first having checked the exit of these tunnels to be certain you aren't heading into certain disaster. (Kind of like playing russian roulette ... four culverts, staring (paddling) down one of them, not knowing whether it's 'loaded'.)

NOTE: MMSD (Milwaukee Metropolitan Sewerage District) has plans to 'daylight' the river (I.E., remove these culverts), and create some meanders and broader floodplain through here. Timelines have not been published as yet.
