14 Premature deterioration of infrastructure; Damage to roads from buckling and rutting; Bridges subject to extra stresses through thermal expansion and increased movement. Closure of roads because of increased wildfires Vehicle overheating and increased risk of tire blow-outs 14

15 Closure of roadways and underground tunnels due to flooding and mudslides in areas deforested by wildfires; Increased wildfires during droughts could threaten roads directly, or cause road closures due to fire threat or reduced visibility 15

16 Higher sea levels and storm surges will erode coastal road base and undermine bridge supports; Temporary and permanent flooding of roads and tunnels due to rising sea levels Increase in number of road accidents, evacuation route delays, and stranded motorists. 16
