    • Abstract:
      Hurricane Michael made landfall in the Florida Panhandle on October 10, 2018. With 155 mile per hour winds and a 14-foot storm surge, it was the first Category 5 hurricane to hit the continental United States in over 25 years. Flooding and wave action damaged U.S. Highway 98 (US 98) in multiple locations in Bay, Franklin, and Gulf Counties, leaving the road impassable and affecting the cities of Mexico Beach, Port Saint Joe, Eastpoint, and Apalachicola. Both travel lanes, paved shoulders, and roadside slopes were damaged on several segments of the highway. Over five miles of roadway in 31 locations sustained damage along the 28-mile project area. The damage necessitated over $22 million in repairs to reconstruct the roadway. US 98 is a coastal roadway that lies only five to ten feet above sea level. It had been repeatedly damaged by past hurricanes and tropical storms and was expected to face similar threats in the future. As a result, the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) decided to construct an Articulating Concrete Block (ACB) revetment system with funds from the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) Emergency Relief (ER) Program to make the roadway more resilient to future storms.
