Federal Govt Will Carry 58 Percent Of Floodway Cost

The 30 mile Red River Floodway will cost about 63,212,000 with the federal government contributing roughly 58 percent since much of the Red River floodwaters originate in the U.S. Winnipeg lies two miles south of St Norbert. Water will flow east of Transcona then return downstream from St Andrews locks at Lockport. The excavated floodway channel will have a capacity of 69,000 cubic feet per second, about half the present capacity of the dyked Red River channel through Winnipeg.

Manitoba Flood Control Plan Includes Red River Floodway

The Red River flood event of 1950 spurred major projects in Manitoba. Shellmouth reservoir, Portage diversion, and the Red River Floodway aim to curb floods around Winnipeg by using Lake Manitoba as storage and routing excess water back to the Assiniboine. Other works include St Malo and River Reservoirs and various drainage channels enhancing spring runoff control.
