A Federal Highway Administration database listed them as late as 2018 as “scour critical.” Other listed problems included “slumping” embankments, channel obstruction due to debris and vegetation, and some movement in the stream bed. “Scour” is an engineering term for the phenomenon of water digging holes in stream beds, thus undermining foundations, abutments, and piers. “Scour critical” means erosion countermeasures are needed as soon as possible. DOT spokesman Brian Ahrens said riprap was installed in 2016 and inspections that year and in September 2020 found the fix was working. The additional countermeasures are not determined. They could include more riprap, installing articulated concrete blocks, and even monitoring the depth of the creek, Ahrens said.
