This study aims to design protective structures capable of preventing similar damage in the future. The methodology includes hydrological and hydraulic analysis, geotechnical evaluation, and assessment of gabion effectiveness as an alternative protective structure. Results indicate that a 100-year return period flood generates a peak discharge of approximately 1058 m³/s, which poses a high risk of scouring along the riverbanks. A Type-C gabion structure with dimensions of 4 × 1 × 1 m was designed for a total length of 100 m (50 m upstream and 50 m downstream) to protect the abutment. Stability analysis confirmed the structure's ability to withstand water and soil pressures with adequate safety factors. The estimated construction cost is Rp 346,190,130. This study recommends gabions as an effective solution for the rehabilitation of <em>Jenelata</em> Bridge to ensure sustainable transport connectivity in flood-prone areas.</p> 2025-10-02T17:36:39+03:00 Copyright (c) 2025 Annisa Magefirah Darmawan, Basyar Bustan, Andi Maal Latief
