Bank protection and groynes Bura Bridge River Training Works and Approach Roads

Bura Bridge is a steel cable stay bridge constructed across the Tana River on a position where the upstream side of river curves sharply into the bridge. This created dangers to erosions on the banks compromising the abutment fill and support.

The protection works comprised the construction of groynes in the Tana River to protect the river embankments and gabions on the eastern side of the river approaching the Bura Bridge.

This was done using rock fill, gabions and boulders totalling approximately 100,000 m3.
