Could it have been a county crew?

Could it have been a county crew?

I live on a state highway, and the construction crew in the area saw CDOT vehicles in the area yesterday

I drive by everyday wondering which place is yours.

I mow the ditch before the state comes thru just for that reason. I put in a larger culvert than state called for when building my driveway. They approved it with the stipulation that if damaged or removed and replaced by state due to construction/maintenance it would not be the size I installed.

If same crew that mows in our area they tear up shit pretty fast.

Technically the culvert is not on your property, but the county's or states, depending what the road is designated as. That's considered the right of way as it is designated, almost anywhere.

Except for the potential to cut yourself on the blade or the torn culvert, exactly what damage was caused? When you say destroy a culvert, I think that means that water won’t go through it anymore. Because who is correct, that culvert is not yours anyway.

I paid for the culvert and its installation.

It is damaged enough that it will not pass water properly. The lip on the apron that is supposed to be buried below surface level is bent up 6-8 inches, actually blocking the culvert. If allowed to stay like that, it will wash out all the material around it.

Without that culvert in place, the property would be difficult to access in the average passenger car. My trash pickup and mail delivery would cease.

Well since the culvert pipe was paid for by you. I suggest you contact by phone & an email for documentation CDOT. Ask them to respond before end of business day 6/19/19

They're might say contact your ins company.

If that's the case, actually no matter what they say. If they're less than responsive before thursday morning. Let them know come 6/20/19 you will be filing a police report for their driver leaving the scene of an accident. Tell them you have it not only on the security camera , but the piece of their plow that broke off and was left in the area.

I have him on security camera too.


I bet that mower was shaking like crazy. He half-ass mowed another 10 miles after my house.

Reminds me of the pictures you always see of the highway painting. Sorry to hear about this though, that really sucks

Well, the good news farm is back in business...

Because of my dammed up culvert, the ditch is barely flowing. Meanwhile, about 60% of my driveway is overflowing with water after today's storm.
