embankment

From an embankment overlooking Gaza City, there's no hiding what this war has done.

It said £30m was being invested in earthworks across Lancashire and Cumbria over the next four years "to stabilise embankments, track beds and cuttings", as well as a £323m modernisation programme to futureproof the route.

"The problem is if you start digging out embankments, which kingfishers use as their main habitats, they will completely avoid this area", he said.

At least 40 people including nationals of Malawi and Zimbabwe were killed when a passenger bus rolled down an embankment in South Africa, a provincial transport minister said Monday.

According to an eyewitness, Prefontaine was driving downhill on a two-lane road when he swerved to avoid another car, slammed against an embankment and flipped his vehicle.
