Abrasion caused by damage to embankments and road infrastructure, design of road embankment construction is planned in general and does not take into account the environmental burden so that it can threaten the safety of road users and the people who live in the vicinity. This research identified and analyzed the damage to coastal road embankments, the effects of abrasion factors and alternative solutions to the construction of road embankments. This research can be used as a reference in determining alternatives to road embankment protection along coastal areas prone to abrasion. This research uses a quantitative qualitative approach and AHP method that is carried out by stages, observations on coastal roads affected by abrasion to determine the condition of road embankment damage, analyze marine environmental loads as factors causing damage to road embankment construction, and analyze alternative coastal protection buildings as a solution handling road dam damage. The results of the analysis showed that abrasion was the cause of damage to road construction due to scouring on embankments and sub grade. The alternative is to select the building of embankment protection on coastal roads that is very relevant is the revetment.

Introduction Law Number 1 of 2014 concerning the management of coastal areas and small islands, coastal areas are transfer areas between terrestrial and marine ecosystems that are affected by changes in land and sea. The interaction between the sea and the land and the absence of a beach border affect the road conditions along the coast. The construction design of the road embankments that are built is relatively the same as the design of the road embankment in general which does not take into account the burden on the marine environment so that it is likely to be damaged due to very large coastal abrasion. The coastal road section is shown in Figure 1.
