Bridge replacement in Broome County, New York
A bridge replacement on Choconut Creek, intended to improve flood resiliency in an area prone to flash flooding, is seen in Vestal, N.Y., on Aug. 30, 2019. The bridge, which was due for replacement, is being raised to mitigate the flood risk for homes upstream and to allow the bridge to remain usable during floods. According to Broome County senior planner Beth Lucas, the project was identified through the county's Watershed-Based Flood Hazard Mitigation Analysis that identified projects to mitigate flooding in priority watersheds. "We were able to make sure that these were complementary projects in some way that improved the overall resiliency of our area as a whole rather than in isolation," Lucas said.
