Amanzi ezikhukula aphezulu achithekile kwaye avala uhola wendlela omkhulu osemazantsi kumda weCanada-US, kwiintsuku nje emva kokuba urhulumente waseManitoba ebhengeze isilumkiso samanzi aphezulu kumazantsi ephondo.
I-I-29, esuka kumda osemazantsi ukuya kuMntla Dakota, ivaliwe ngoLwesine ebusuku ngenxa yezikhukula, ngokweSebe lezoThutho laseNyakatho Dakota.
Umgama omalunga neekhilomitha ezingama-40, ukusuka eManvel - ngasentla kweGrand Forks - ukuya eGrafton, ND, ichaphazeleka ngokuvalwa, kunye nezinye iindlela ezondla i-I-29.
Indlela ejikela emantla ekuphumeni kweManvel iqala e-US 81 kwaye ijikela ngasemantla ukuya ngaseGrafton, emva koko empuma kwi-ND 17, apho abaqhubi banokubuyela khona kwi-I-29, isebe lathi.
I-detour esemazantsi iqala kwi-Grafton ephumayo kwaye ilandele i-ND 17 ngasentshonalanga ukuya eGrafton, ngaphambi kokujikela emazantsi kwi-US 81 kwaye idibanise ne-I-29.
Abasebenzi beSebe lezoThutho baqala ukufaka umqobo wesikhukula esine-inflatable kunye ne-I-29 ngoLwesine.
Umlambo oBomvu kuqikelelwa ukuba uza kugcwala kwiGrand Forks ngolwesiHlanu kwaye kungekudala kune-17 ka-Epreli kufutshane nomda, ngokweNkonzo yeMozulu yeSizwe yase-US.
Ukulungiswa komkhukula sele kuqhutywa eManitoba, njengoko i-crest eqikelelweyo ye-Red inokuthi iphakame phakathi kwe-19 kunye ne-19.5 yeenyawo zikaJames, ongumlinganiselo wokuphakama komlambo e-James Avenue eWinnipeg. Elo nqanaba liya kwenza umkhukula ophakathi.
Urhulumente waseManitoba usebenze i-Red River Floodway ngoLwesine ebusuku emva kokukhupha isilumkiso samanzi aphezulu kuMlambo oBomvu, ukusuka e-Emerson ukuya kwindawo yesikhukula emazantsi eWinnipeg.
I-Manitoba Infrastructure iqikelela ukuba i-Red iya kuqala kufutshane ne-Emerson phakathi kwe-15 ka-Epreli kunye ne-18.
