Klondike River Breakup (April 30, 2024)
-
No advisories are in place for the Klondike River Valley. The Flood Warning and High Streamflow Advisory for the Klondike River have ENDED. The Evacuation Alert for the Klondike River Valley has been RESCINDED.
-
The Klondike River has broken. The ice jam at the Klondike Highway bridge has released and flushed through to the Yukon River, lowering water levels by 1.7 metres at the bridge. Two ice jams remain in place at Henderson Corner and the Bear Creek subdivision. Small rises in water levels will result from the release of the remaining upstream ice jams, but this does not represent a concern for flooding at this time. Once the river is open, water levels will start rising seasonally as freshet (snowmelt) approaches.
-
No volunteers are needed to fill sandbags at this time.
