Amanzi ezikhukhula avala umugqa womgwaqo omkhulu waseNyakatho Dakota nje eningizimu yomngcele waseManitoba

Amanzi ezikhukhula achithekile futhi avala umgwaqo omkhulu oseningizimu yomngcele weCanada ne-US, ezinsukwini ezimbalwa ngemuva kokuthi uhulumeni waseManitoba ememezele isixwayiso samanzi amaningi eningizimu yesifundazwe.

Umgwaqo ochezukela enyakatho ekuphumeni kweManvel uqala e-US 81 futhi ujike ubheke enyakatho ngaseGrafton, bese usempumalanga ku-ND 17, lapho abashayeli bengagcina bebuyele ku-I-29, kusho umnyango.

I-detour ebheke eningizimu iqala ekuphumeni kwase-Grafton futhi ilandele u-ND 17 entshonalanga ukuya e-Grafton, ngaphambi kokujikela eningizimu ku-US 81 futhi ihlangane ne-I-29.
