Project Name:

Pinehurst Road Culvert Repair Project
City/County:

Canyon, Contra Costa County
Comment Period:

2/12/2026 - 03/4/2026
Project Description:

The proposed project consists of replacing a failing culvert located along San Leandro Creek that provides the sole vehicular access to a private residence on Pinehurst Road. Ongoing disturbance of the upstream slopes due to tree falls, high flows, and progressive degradation of the existing concrete bags has resulted in erosion at the upstream end of the culvert and adjacent driveway area, which serves as the only access to the property.
