Swedish term or phrase: pelarnos
Road construction in Sweden has been delayed due to COVID-19, but now that a new document has come my way, this word "pelarnos" has come up.

Sentence given:
"Bredden varierar mellan 2,6 m vid pelarnosen upp till 8 m vid blivande påslagsvägg."

buttress
Explanation:
I had to translate this recently in a couple of different sets of specifications and found "buttress" as an approved translation somewhere online. This made sense at the time but of course I haven't made a note of where I got it from and can't now find it...
