CASS COUNTY, N.D. (KFGO) – The first of three gates for the Fargo-Moorhead Diversion has been delivered south of Horace.
It weighs 47-and-a-half tons and will be used for the diversion inlet structure. The first gate delivered is in pieces from five semis over two days. The other gates will arrive in the next two weeks. The gate being delivered once assembled is 50 feet wide by 26 foot tall.
The gates will control the amount of water flowing into the diversion channel.
The Army Corps of Engineers say they were built in Georgia and Alabama and took 14,000 hours to build.
