摘要：	This report presents the results of a Climate Resilience Pilot Project conducted by Connecticut Department of Transportation (CTDOT) and sponsored in part by the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA). CTDOT was awarded a pilot to conduct a systems-level vulnerability assessment of bridge and culvert structures six feet to 20 feet in length from inland flooding associated with extreme rainfall events. The project focused on structures in the northwest corner of the state. The Department chose to conduct a vulnerability assessment of inland flooding because in recent years extreme precipitation events have been more frequent and intense, resulting in damage to the Department’s infrastructure in several locations in the State. While this damage has not been significantly widespread, it poses safety concerns and can be costly to repair or replace.
