Has anyone had any experience with any curb ramps or other solutions? The front end just barely makes it in by about 1mm. Suprisingly there aren't any scratches on the bottom of the front end. I have to go super slow and at a angle to not bottom out. Wanted to see what suggestions anyone has besides ripping up concrete and laying a new driveway.

As you can see the channel is there because it funnels water off to the side of the driveway. You can see where the water line was from the debris.

Keep in mind water has to still flow under it too.

A picture says it all...............

annoying as it is, perhaps either back into it or approach at an angle
other solution could be to put a ramp type of thing.
or fill it, put a metal sheet on it, paint it similar color as the pavement to blend... these are cheap options I can think of :)

Expensive would be to get a lift kit.

Not cheap, but "bar grating" could be used to flatten the path across the swale a bit and it should't impede water flow. Or build something with lumber.
