When the Route to the ER Can't Go Underwater
Stanley Drive carries patients, staff, and ambulances to Menomonee Falls' new Ascension hospital - which makes flooding on that route more than an inconvenience. Supporting the hospital infrastructure program in partnership with JSD Professional Services, Lynch provided structural and hydraulic design to expand the existing two-cell box culvert with two additional barrels.
The upgraded crossing preserves the original lower cells while the new barrels take the high flows, with aprons, riprap, and channelization improvements conveying floodwater through the crossing and reducing overtopping risk on this critical access route.
