A demonstration project was conducted to provide estimates of the frequency of flooding at two sites on RT 146 in Guilford and two sites in Branford. The project includes Sachem Head Road and Leetes Island Road in Guilford, and Indian Neck Avenue, Linden and Sybil Avenue, Limewood Avenue and Waverly Road in Brandord. The model required the analysis of observations, LIDAR surface elevations, GPS surveys and water level observations. The project provided current flooding frequency statistics, future flooding frequency statistics and the effectiveness of road elevation options on reducing the flooding frequency.
