Marquette and McGregor brace for near-record flooding

Submitted by admin on Wed, 04/26/2023 - 08:48

The communities of Marquette and McGregor are bracing for what the National Weather Service (NWS) projects will be the second-highest crest of the Mississippi River at McGregor. The river hit major flood stage of 22 feet (pictured here) on Monday, April 24, and will continue to rise to 24 feet on Saturday, April 29. In Marquette on Monday, Canadian Pacific Railway worked to raise the height of the tracks as flood water inched closer. (Photos by Audrey Posten)

Mississippi River flooding has overtaken Big Buoy’s Tiki Bar in McGregor. A Hesco barrier spans the riverfront for protection, and on Tuesday was going to be expanded to B Street, closing off South McGregor.

McGregor Hook and Ladder’s automatic sandbagger has made filling sandbags quicker and more efficient compared to previous floods.

By the middle of last week, pumps were placed in Marquette (pictured here) and McGregor.

On Sunday, city workers, firefighters and other volunteers reinforced barriers at the riverfront and next to the city shop and Mar-Mac police station off B45/Pleasant Ridge Road. The city of Marquette on April 24 authorized the closure of Pleasant Ridge Road within the corporate limits of Marquette due to the influx of traffic.

Homes in South McGregor were already surrounded by water on Monday, as the Mississippi River hit 22 feet.

Flood waters have inundated the rail yard in Marquette, as seen here from Highway 18.

On Monday, the intersection at Highway 76 and Anti-Monopoly Street, near Casino Queen Marquette, was built up in anticipation of rising water.

At 22 feet, the Mississippi River was a little past the base of the dike.
