Advisory issued for Peace River as ice breakup nears
Alberta Environment and Parks have issued a river ice advisory ahead of the ice breakup on the Peace River.
As temperatures warm in the region, the breakup of the Peace River ice cover is expected to happen between April 2 and April 4.
Currently, the location of the breakup is 35 kilometers upstream of the Highway 2 bridge.
The Town of Peace River says no ice-related issues regarding the breakup of the river is expected and water levels are expected to drop by 1.5-2.5 metres as the ice cover melts.
