I think the state is not serious considering the risk of regular flooding to 787 in the next 20 years with climate change, especially around the Patroon Island Bridge. I've looked at elevations on LIDAR and I can tell you that road is going to suffer from heavy rain flooding regularly in the near future. It's built on landfill in the river
Even a modest rise in average river levels combined with increased heavy downpours could put the river on the road. The river levels already are higher than when it was built, the river is only going to get higher.
But then again, who even knows is mass motoring will be a thing in 20 years. Maybe by then oil prices will be too high and this whole electric car thing won't pan out. Maybe it will be buses, trains, or bicycles as the next big thing.

Only $33,000 for this 1980 Chevy Citation, 2,864 actual original owner miles stored since 1982. The Citation wasn't a good car when it's new, I doubt it's gotten better with age. π€£

"#Huntervationist: "Since 1976 REI has donated $77 million to conservation. Last year they donated $9.3 million to the outdoors. Those may sound like big numbers until held up against annual sales of $2.56 billion. This means that REI donated just one-third of 1% of sales to support the wild places from which it garners mountains of money.
In 2017 alone Vista Outdoorsβ brands generated $87 million for the Federal Aid and Wildlife Restoration Actβmore money in a single year than REI donated in 42 years.""
