PublicDownloadable Content
open in viewerThis project assessed the transportation resiliency to accommodate increased storm events and predicted sea level rise for the City of Chelsea, MA, with a focus in the city’s Marginal Street area. Several flood mitigation strategies were evaluated, taking into account limitations of Chelsea’s geography. We determined Chelsea should implement a sea wall structure to accommodate future sea level rise and flooding, along with recommendations for responses to flooding, through analysis of flooding, impact to traffic, resiliency, and design feasibility.
