The paper presents the monitoring system of the embankment supported on concrete columns and overlaid by a load transfer platform (LTP) with the embedded steel grid. This field investigation was to study the complex inter-action between the columns, the LTP layer, and steel reinforcement via full-scale in situ measurements during erection of the embankment. The study was focused on the behaviour of steel reinforcement and the behaviour of the outer rows of columns since there are limited reference data available for this problem. The system was designed to provide infor-mation to engineers about the condition of the embankment at every stage of construction and during standard exploi-tation of road. The measurements provided information about the changes of strains of steel grid and concrete columns and settlement of the structure.
