Federal Floodway Funding and Route Details
The Red River Floodway will cost about 63.2 million dollars with the federal government contributing roughly 84 percent. Water moving from above Winnipeg will be diverted to the floodway east of Transcona and return downstream from St. Andrews locks at Lockport, with a 60 000 cubic feet per second capacity. The Watershed Conservation Districts Act would empower a district board to supervise area wide water control and conservation efforts.

Manitoba Plans Flood Control With Red River Floodway
Manitoba considers three major flood control projects Shellmouth reservoir Portage diversion and Red River Floodway to protect Winnipeg and surrounding areas. The plan aims to reduce flood losses, improve water storage, and enhance hydro power, irrigation and municipal supply. Smaller reservoirs and channels support local flood checks across Drainage Maintenance Districts.
