peer agreement (net): -1bridge parapet Explanation: This is not a Swedish word. "Brobänk" means quayside, but is rare. I am guessing from your example that it is the parapet of a bridge, but it could be the embankment at the approach to a bridge, or even a bridge support?? I recommend you dodge the problem by translating the sentence on the lines of : "The partially stone built cones of the current bridge are of culturally environmental value and if possible, should be retained." |
