ABSTRACT:
An end element (10) retains earth overfill (E) associated to an overfilled load support structure (L) which includes an end arch element (S). The end element replaces a spandrel wall (R) and wingwalls (W), and includes a lateral extension (12) located next to the end arch element of the load support structure and which extends far enough so the slope of the fill between an overpass (O) and the toe (22) of the fill located on top of the support structure is low for permitting the overfill located on top of the load support structure to be essentially unrestrained in the horizontal direction. Retaining panels (14) are located adjacent to the lateral extension and cooperate with that lateral extension for retaining the fill.
