Spanish term or phrase: badén de hormigón
I have found "furrow", "drain" and "rut" for badén, which does not fit this context:

"BADEN DE HORMIGON

Un badén de hormigón es una losa de hormigón colocada a la salida de obras de drenaje en el cruce con un camino para que el agua no arrastre los materiales que forman el camino."

Explanation:
Estos son los significados que da Simon & Schuster (Javier Collazo no incluye esta palabra en su diccionario):
