Description/Comments: 

Two halves of a severed and washed out 3-foot wide culvert at East Street in Belchertown. Debris carried by intense rains in July 2021 overtopped the beaver dam (still standing, at road level, rear) and clogged the undersized structure, causing the road failure and flooding. This culvert was replaced by a 9-foot structure.
