That picture shows what is required for that type of crossing: a fairly flat approach and exit ramp. That means you would have to cut down the sides of the ditch and then protect at least the downstream sides with concrete or riprap. In your photo, the wide, shallow stream is ideal for that type crossing. With your ditch, quite a bit of soil will require removal.
