Dikes go up on Eighth Street South in Moorhead

A clay dike was constructed on both sides of Eighth Street South, between 30th and 37th avenues south Saturday afternoon, to help contain spillover from a holding pond on the East side of the road.

Water covered the far northbound lane for about a block near Dave’s South-side Tap.

The dikes will be built to protect from a river elevation of 43 feet, Moorhead city engineers said.
