- How to build a highway in the age of climate change
California State Route 37 faces congestion and flooding risks due to its location near San Pablo Bay. A $500 million project aims to elevate parts of the highway and improve infrastructure, but critics argue it is insufficient. Climate change threatens to worsen flooding, with some advocating for more ambitious solutions like relocating the highway or investing $10 billion in extensive upgrades.
