The $9 million project will raise the 2-mile-long road with nearly 5 feet of sand and dredge spoils to ensure it is passable during coastal storms and back-bay flooding, which is expected to grow worse with rising sea levels.

The project is one of the first examples of Cape May County responding to the effects of global warming, officials said.

Climate change is likely to spur similar expensive solutions in South Jersey, said Doug O’Malley, director of the nonprofit group Environment New Jersey.

“This is the first sign that Cape May County is in a terrible fix,” he said. “Looking at the science on climate change, a majority of our shore towns will face not only sea-level rise but also increasing storm surge in coming decades.”

The Keystone XL pipeline is a key link in an energy path that will lead to devastation for American working families. Here's why.

Scientists calculate that the safe level for carbon in the atmosphere is 350 parts per millions. But we are already significantly over that level -- which is why we are already facing devastating climate change. Only by drastically limiting our carbon emissions can we limit still greater devastation.
