Hurricane barrier wall
Good Morning and have a wonderful day end the work week and enjoy your weekend
Today I am going to share some shots of the Hurricane Barrier wall here in new Bedford but first someinfo about it
the Wall is built to protect about 1400 acres of land in New Bedford, well more the buildings on the land I should say, it covers about 80% of the area that was badly damaged by flooding in the September 1938 and August 1954 hurricanes
Construction of the New Bedford Hurricane Protection Barrier as it is properly titled, began in October 1962 and was completed in January 1966, costing $18.6 million.
The project is divided into three principal features: a barrier extending across New Bedford and Fairhaven Harbor with an extension dike on the mainland; Clarks Cove Dike in New Bedford; and Fairhaven Dike.
how effectiv eis it you may ask, I havent found recent info but I did read The project has prevented $24.1 million in flood damages and coastal tidal surge since it was built (as of September 2011).
The barrier extending across the harbor consists of a 4,500-foot-long earthfill dike with stone slope protection. The barrier has a maximum elevation of 20 feet and a 150-foot-wide gated opening to accommodate commercial and recreational navigation.
But enough talking about it time for some photos
This first photo is onthe road that goes along side the wall out to both Palmers Island and the control room and gates in the wall fron te New Bedford and Fairahevn sides meet, to allow ships to go in and out and to be able to be closed when a big storm approaches

That first one is gorgeous! Great shot! When was the last time they had a hurricane up that way? I haven't been in one since I lived in the Caribbean!
I think we had one a couple of years back, luckily it weakened and wasnt to bad
Nice shots. I like the ones with both the sunrise colors and the reflections. Especially the one with the large brick building. That one is nicely laid out.
Thanks kindly your support is appreciated
