Reinforced Earth® walls for the RN 82

1 August 2016 - Projects update and handover - France

On the project to provide the RN 82 trunk road, linking the RN 7 and the A89 motorway, with 2x2 lanes, Terre Armée France (Soletanche Freyssinet/VINCI Construction) has supplied 2,300 sq. metres of Reinforced Earth® with synthetic reinforcements for the construction of 15 m-high abutments. Initiated by the Interdepartmental Directorate of Roads (DIR Centre-Est), this operation is aimed at opening up the Roanne area, thus improving road safety there.
