Workers place sections of new box culvert to carry Beaver Pond Brook under future I-84.

Beaver Pond Brook (left) will be relocated through new culvert under future I-84 (now between EB I-84 and Reidville Drive). Openings on top of culvert will allow natural light to filter into the stream habitat from future center median.
