Airport Road Flood Upgrades
FY 2024-25 · 2025-01-09
Summary
Town of Hay River, NT is highly susceptible to springtime flooding due to annual ice jamming and the effects of freshet in the Hay River as it flows north into Great Slave Lake. The river bifurcates, and in its western channel, there has been a consistent history of flooding. The recent in 2022 caused extensive damage to numerous homes and businesses as well as a ballpark. The project will raise the level of Airport Road which runs adjacent to the west channel as well as install appropriate water drainage infrastructure. The road that most impacted will be asphalted to make it resistant to flood erosion as well as banked with impermeable materials. The access road to the town’s water plant will also be elevated to ensure access during a flood period. These efforts will provide a return on investment of $11.78 of flood damage loss avoided for every $1 invested over the life of the asset.

Description (French)
La ville de Hay River (TN) est très exposée aux inondations printanières en raison des embâcles annuels et des effets de la crue de la rivière Hay qui se jette dans le Grand lac des Esclaves. La rivière se divise, et dans son chenal occidental, il y a eu un historique constant d'inondations. La récente inondation de 2022 a causé des dommages considérables à de nombreuses maisons et entreprises, ainsi qu'à un stade de baseball. Le projet prévoit de rehausser le niveau de la route Airport Road, qui est adjacente au chenal ouest, et d'installer une infrastructure de drainage des eaux appropriée.
La route la plus touchée sera asphaltée pour la rendre résistante à l'érosion par les crues et sera bordée de matériaux imperméables. La route d'accès à la station d'épuration de la ville sera également surélevée afin d'en garantir l'accès en période d'inondation. Ces efforts permettront d'obtenir un retour sur investissement de 11,78 dollars de pertes évitées pour chaque dollar investi pendant la durée de vie de l'actif.
