...Yukon River Breakup Status...



The Yukon River at Ft. Yukon broke up Tuesday with minor flooding 

from an ice jam that released overnight into Wednesday morning. The 

breakup front remained stalled at 6 Mile Island below Ft. Yukon as 

of early Wednesday afternoon while water levels have continued to 

drop at Ft. Yukon.  The water that has been carrying the breakup 

front has continued downstream and is helping to lift and shift the 

ice between Ft. Yukon and Beaver; however without a pulse of water 

from upstream breakup may be slowed for a few days.  The timing of 

the breakup front reaching Stevens Village and the Dalton Highway 

bridge could be anywhere from 1-5 days. The River Watch team plans 

one more flight to this reach on Thursday to monitor the progression 

and will provide updates as information becomes available.
