Culvert is a channel under a bridge or railway that carries a current. A bridge will serve as a bridge for the transmission of traffic. Usually, they are located in natural water flow and serve a bridge or current flow controller role.
The culvert is designed for water crossing under roads and highways, as the bridge embankment can not be permitted to block the flow of water. The culvert is ideally suited for a controlled way to limit the flow of water.
