of roads and bridges near coastal areas are facing a similar fate, experts say. Rising sea levels and more extreme flooding brought on by climate change threaten billions of dollars of economic consequences and have experts urging officials to find speedy solutions to ensure resilience.
"Roadways are increasingly going to become exposed to high tides and storm surge," William Sweet, an oceanographer at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration told Insider."Because they're on the ground and there's not much we can do about that without taking some serious preventative action.
NOAA's Sweet recommends departments of transportation across the country start identifying and prioritizing the most critical parts of their road network, the ones that connect ports, cities, and railroads and are critical to the economics of an area. Then, he started doing what NOAA recommends, reading about sea level rise and the plans that individual communities are studying to increase their own resiliency.
