- Name
CausewayStructure- Kind
- FeatureType
- Definition
- A solid raised way across a terrain obstacle (for example: a wetland or a body of shallow water) that is intended to support a transportation route (for example: a road or a railway).
- Description
- The causeway structure is often constructed from local fill supplemented by other materials (for example: rocks, boulders or gravel) and consists of a solid linear structure in the configuration of an embankment. Causeway structures are built just high enough to insure that the transportation route will remain passable during periods of flooding, tides and seasonal rainfall. Culverts may occur along the length of the causeway structure and individual sections of the causeway structure may be interrupted by bridges.
