This is what the culvert should look like! There are a couple within about 100 meters of eachother along the road. The first one you find is much smaller and required some tough down climbing. I highly recommend going to the second one, it's a lot faster. It does require you to go past a very narrow stretch of road, but it's rarely so busy that you can't make it.
