That won't work.

Focus on your approaches first. The bottom of that creek has a lot of gravel. It will be fine.

For the approaches, back way off. Work the banks to a long, low angle slope. Lay down clay gravel. Then hammer home some grey rock. Big stuff. The size of your fist. Work it in with a dozer. Hammer it down until it sets up.

The banks are 90% of the battle. The bottoms and the lips can just be back dragged with a tractor bucket every so often.

Better research this and see if it is legal to do this first. Here in Virginia and some other states, putting treated crossties in a creek for any reason is strictly forbidden. EPA and your local health department and your G & F departments could possibly make this solution a very expensive endeavor on your part.
