A lightweight, rapidly deployable causeway concept consisting of a pressurized water-filled bag and an air beam supported reservoir has been developed. Small scale prototypes of the bag and air beam systems were tested to demonstrate seakeeping characteristics of the causeway and the capability of the air beams to deploy the system.. The seakeeping tests were focused on roadway motions and the presence of green water on the roadway.
