The Country Club Road road crossing is a small residential connector road built across the Green Cove Creek ravine 0.7 miles upstream of the Green Cove estuary. The culvert is failing, and an emergency repair has resulted in a complete fish passage barrier. Because the barrier is on a small chum stream, it is low on state priorities for repair funding.
