Preparing and Adapting for Climate Change Impacts
According to Mirage News, As a world-leading toll road operator, we have a role to play in shaping the future of road transport and mobility – including contributing to a more sustainable future for our industry. This is especially pressing in the face of our changing climate and the challenges that come with this.
In January 2022, a winter storm in Virginia dropped 33 cm of snow along the I-95 corridor. This meant closing our express lanes for 30 hours, supporting emergency crew access and snow removal. One month later, in Australia, South East Queensland flood events inundated roadways surrounding our assets, leaving motorists stranded. The deluge of water put our roads’ drainage infrastructure to the test – but all our roads remained open, and served as a key connection between affected communities and emergency responses.
