Underseas Highway to Key West
The Florida Keys face a stark reality as seas rise. The Keys are one of the most vulnerable places to flooding in North America. According to the Miami Herald, many of the roads in the Keys could be underwater as soon as 2025.
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' latest recommended plan is meant to help the Keys cope with the increased flooding caused by climate change. That plan, now estimated at almost $3 billion, includes shoring up six segments of the Overseas Highway and elevating nearly 4,700 homes.
[Note: I propose elevating the homes and sinking the highway, making it invulnerable to high water and less vulnerable to hurricanes and creating another world-class tourist attraction]
