Opening a Webmap and Going to a Set X-Y Location

Question

Is there a way to have a web map open up and zoom automatically into an X-Y location on the map? I have a road construction web map created
and I would like to have open up to a set location on the map when coming from the county’s main web page that list the various construction locations.

The values are the coordinates of the extent in the following order left, bottom, right, top. Because the basemap is in web Mercator these figures are in meters. If you are using a basemap in a different coordinate system then you will need to use the coordinates that are in the same projection.

if you are using the online basemaps then there is a good flex helper application for getting the extent here:

You can get lat/long values with the measure tool...then use the coordinates with a zoom level

For the extent what are the values in that string example and is their a tool that will easily pull those vales out for me?
