The City of Brandon on Friday began building a temporary dike at the intersection of Grand Valley Road at the 18th Street due to the risk of rising waters along the Assiniboine Riverm due to recent rain.
Motorists and pedestrians were asked to use caution around the work zone and obey all posted signage.
The city also asked residents to stay off the dike system and away from closed trails, parks, and riverbank areas due to the hazard posed by fast-moving water and unstable ground.
Work continues to close the dike along 18th Street North at Grand Valley Road in Brandon on Friday as the Assiniboine River continues to rise.
