Predictions and current...
Back to page topPredictions and current Data:
With the river at Jordan pretty level at 31.43 (NGVD29 = 721.43) and looking at the predicted downfall, looks like we (IMO) should not expect Hwy 41 to open prior to next Friday. Mn/DOT will then have to cleanup and repair the washouts/erosion prior to opening so it could easily be delayed until after April 5th.

At Jordan I would not expect Carver CR 11 (formerly cr 45)/Scott CR 9 to open prior to Mon. April 5th with the predicted level finally getting down to the Roadway closing level of 26.5 ft (NGVD29 of 716.5 ft) on Friday April 2nd .
From the gauge reading and data at Hwy 101 in Shakopee, there is 5ft of water over the Highway with a current level of 715.1 ft as of 9:35 this morning.
