| Abstract: |
The new 30 km Cadangan Projek Jambatan Temburong (Temburong Bridge Project) in Brunei will connect the relatively isolated district of Temburong with the more developed Brunei-Muara district. The project includes approximately 3.6 km in Brunei-Muara district where the new road will pass through the Mentiri hills. This section will be built under Construction Contract CC1 and includes 3 twin-bore lengths of tunnel and various bridge structures. Design is to Eurocode. The tunnels are in hard soils / weak rock and will be the first mined tunnels to be built in Brunei. The tunnel portals incorporate Islamic shapes to continue the architectural theme of the project. Bridges will link the different tunnels together and form the free-flow connections to an existing dual carriageway at the north-west end of the scheme. |
