Graves Island Provincial Park Causeway Infrastructure Adaptation Project
FY 2024-25 · 2024-07-25
Summary
The project will rebuild and enhance the Graves Island Provincial Park causeway, the sole access to the island, to protect it from the impacts of flooding, erosion, and sea level rise. Once complete, the Project will allow increased capacity of the causeway and ensure it is usable beyond the predicted sea level rise by 2100. Additionally, the project will significantly reduce economic losses and the number of people directly affected that are caused by not having access to the island via the causeway.

Description (French)
Le projet consistera à reconstruire et à améliorer la chaussée du parc provincial de Graves Island, seul accès à l'île, afin de la protéger contre les effets des inondations, de l'érosion et de l'élévation du niveau de la mer. Une fois achevé, le projet permettra d'augmenter la capacité de la chaussée et de garantir qu'il sera utilisable au-delà de l'élévation du niveau de la mer prévue d'ici 2100. En outre, le projet réduira considérablement les pertes économiques et le nombre de personnes directement touchées par l'absence d'accès à l'île via la chaussée.
