The East Road Drainage Structure is a 10-foot high concrete box culvert located in the Rio Grande-Santa Fe watershed of New Mexico. It was constructed to divert stormwater runoff from the East Road area and prevent flooding in nearby neighborhoods. The structure has a capacity of 70 cubic feet per second and is designed to handle a 100-year storm event. It is also an important feature for water quality, as it helps to filter out pollutants and sediment before the water enters the Rio Grande.
While the East Road Drainage Structure may not seem like a typical tourist destination, it is actually a popular spot for kayaking and canoeing during high water events. The structure creates a unique whitewater play area, known as “The Box,” which attracts paddlers from around the region. Additionally, the surrounding area offers opportunities for hiking and bird watching, as it is home to a variety of species such as owls, eagles, and herons. Overall, the East Road Drainage Structure is an interesting example of infrastructure design and engineering, as well as a destination for outdoor recreation.
