Dobbie and Partners It was pleasing to see that the designers had taken the opportunity on the multispan Llanfaes Bridge to avoid any lowering of the river bed under the outer two arches. Theoverall bridge protection scheme is much simplified because of this. In similar situations on bridges with fewer spans, it is usual that abutments also have to be safeguarded in addition to the piers, and it is at the abutments where the greatest design dificulty is usually encountered and where settlements resulting from the works can be greatest and of most significance...
