Question

difference between an embankment and a tunnel?​

Answer 1

Explanation:

To raise the road to the level of the bridge deck, rock and earth is dumped and compacted before the road is formed and asphalted or concreted. This raising of the ground is called an embankment. ... Even if no tunnel is required, the road approaches the bridge through a road in cutting on either bank.

Answer 2

Answer:

Embankments

As with cuttings, embankments multiply the loss of ancient

woodland habitat. Disturbance caused by the construction of

both cuttings and embankments may also be irreparable.

Tunnels

Probably the least destructive method of traversing a

sensitive natural habitat, a tunnel still needs ventilation and

construction is not possible without serious disturbance
