The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, St. Paul District, rerouted the Wild Rice River through the Wild Rice River Structure March 31. Rerouting the Wild Rice River was a major milestone for the Fargo, North Dakota/Moorhead, Minnesota Flood Risk Management Project. After three years of construction, Ames Construction, Inc., permanently diverted the Wild Rice River through a gated concrete structure, a project first. This reroute will allow Ames to complete construction of a dam embankment across the existing Wild Rice River channel.
