Impacts of Climate Change and Extreme Events on Highway Infrastructure
Project Information
Project ID:
FHWA-PROJ-21-0054
Project Abstract:
This project is to develop solutions and design guidelines for impacts (hydrological and coastal) of climate change and extreme events on highway infrastructure. Climate change introduces non-stationary risks such as sea level and temperature rise, and changes in timing and distribution of precipitation, snowpack, and snowmelt. Failure to account for such non-stationary risks may compromise the operational characteristics of existing and future transportation infrastructure.
