Description
The project will mitigate the risks of the natural hazard by raising the causeway and by constructing a water pumping station to prevent critical infrastructure from being damaged during storm surge events.
Description (French)
Le projet atténuera les risques de ce danger naturel en surélevant le pont-jetée et en construisant une station de pompage d'eau pour éviter que les infrastructures essentielles ne soient endommagées lors des ondes de tempête.
Expected Results
This project aims to protect the Courtney Bay Causeway from overtopping and damage, maintain critical transportation, emergency response, power, and water infrastructure, and reduce flooding risks along Marsh Creek and nearby low-lying areas caused by storm surges, sea level rise, land subsidence, inland flooding, and climate change.
Expected Results (French)
Ce projet vise à protéger la chaussée de Courtney Bay contre la submersion et les dommages, à maintenir les infrastructures essentielles de transport, d’intervention d’urgence, d’électricité et d’approvisionnement en eau, et à réduire les risques d’inondation le long de Marsh Creek et dans les zones basses avoisinantes causés par les ondes de tempête, l’élévation du niveau de la mer, l’affaissement des terres, les inondations intérieures et les changements climatiques.
