#1 no thats natures way of saying "Next time dont be so cheap with the foundations" I agree with #6 this looks like a bridge over a small river (as you can see there was a corrugated iron tube threw its foundations) it looks like they put that tube there and piled dirt and earth on top then layed the tarmac straight on top , prime example of cheap engineering and work.

Basically what happened is they didnt ever plan for this small stream to puff up enough one day for the pipe that was supposed to run it through to fail... Well it did.. the flow was more than it could transfer to the other side.. so it started going through the sides, thus softening the soil and eventually collapsing the unsupported road-bridge.. Nice upload.. always wanted to see one.

I would say that the Culvert was plugged with debris and could not do what it was there for, letting water flow through it and under the road.
The Culvert was large enough to have avoided this. When it finally got through the water level dropped quickly. Some through and some around.
With regular maintenance of road ways, this could have being prevented.

I used to live at a ravine and this would happen from time to time. The difference was that our tunnel had a few tons of concrete around it. But, when we'd have a severe downpour, dead tree logs would float to it and clog it up. Only thing to do then was tie a rope around my waist, have a couple guys holding on to the other end, jump in and take the debris away SLOWLY. If the water wasn't cold it was fun.

That looked like a long road. With no streetlights.
I feel sorry for the first poor sap to come down here at night.

Failure of engineers or not, the amount of force generated by the water is really amazing. It would have taken at least half a day for men to do that with shovels.

Hydraulic erosion can be truly amazing and scary.
The culvert was not anchored in concrete, It's obvious it didn't have a concrete spillway either. A properly designed culvert wouldn't have failed like this.

What a shame, as it is a delightfully lovely picturesque country-road; --likely should have had three of those big galvanized-steel tubes, --as it appears that if you look to the left at about the 40%-stage you'll see that a tree appears to be growing-up at the outlet-side, whereby who knows what, perhaps a large old mattress may have gotten hung-up and that's all folks; --obviously the sharp-photographer was anticipating just such a tax-payers calamity!
