Manitoba Infrastructure and Transportation reports that ice-cutting began last week on the Icelandic and Fisher Rivers, and has now started on the Brokenhead River to reduce potential ice-jam flooding.
River users are asked to observe warning signs and stay clear of the equipment as cutting machines weaken ice to help Amphibex breakers open channels.
The icebreaking and ice-cutting equipment is operated and maintained by North Red Waterway Maintenance Inc., a corporation formed by the rural municipalities of St. Andrews and St. Clements, and the City of Selkirk.
