Abstract

This paper provides guidelines for the design of Low Water Stream Crossings (LWSCs) and is a synthesis and summary of previous studies reports. Results of the research on LWSCs include advantages, disadvantages, erosion and scour control, road way site geometry, recommendation during structures, traffic safety, summary and references.
