Meet Velpont: a Smarter Way to Build Road Crossings

Across the U.S., millions of road-stream crossings were built cheaply and small, often with undersized culverts that handled short-term challenges while creating long-term problems. Today, those crossings are failing under stronger storms, heavier rainfall, and changing hydrology. Meet Velpont, the modular precast concrete crossing solution developed to address that reality efficiently, effectively, and ecologically. Velpont is a modular bridge system designed specifically for small to mid-sized road-stream crossings. It’s built to simplify design and installation, reduce in-stream disturbance, and help crossings function as if the road was never there. #RoadStreamCrossings #StreamSmart #BridgeDesign In this video, engineers, conservation leaders, and bridge builders explain why traditional culverts fall short, how climate-driven flows are changing infrastructure demands, and what it means to create crossings that allow streams to behave naturally. You’ll see how open-bottom bridge structures can restore connectivity, improve flood resilience, and support healthier ecosystems, while also delivering safer, more durable infrastructure for communities. Velpont isn’t just a new crossing solution. It’s a massive shift in how crossings are designed, built, and supported. Design for the stream first. The road follows. 🐟”That's the beauty of open-bottom bridge structures. We can go in and we can remove a culvert and do two things. We can make the road infrastructure more durable for people and the surrounding communities. Make it way more flood resilient. And we can also create a situation where we can have that road fly over the stream as though it had no impact on the stream.” 📍 Explore the Velpont bridge system and see how modern road crossings are built at www.velpont.com. #InfrastructureResilience #CulvertReplacement #OpenBottomBridge #FishPassage #WatershedHealth #ClimateResilientInfrastructure #StreamRestoration #SmallBridgeDesign
