Prague on call! Due to the large water, it closes the sediments preventively
Heavy rain and storms whipped the Czechia. This caused river levels to rise across the country. Prague also took flood prevention measures. On Friday, the embankments and gates on Čertovka will close.
The levels are rising on many streams across the Czech Republic. Meteorologists also expect the culmination on the Berounka River or the Vltava River. Prague has therefore taken flood protection measures. “Due to the warning of flood vigilance, Prague is taking preventive anti-flood measures. On Friday, the Prague embankments and gates on Čertovka will close,” Mayor Zdeněk Hřib (Pirates) informed on Twitter.
From Friday evening, the floodplains will not be open to the public. In addition, people have to remove their cars by 18:00, otherwise they will be towed. “The vacated and closed area will be largely monitored by the city police patrols,” Hřib added. The deadline is valid until further notice.
In addition, there are a considerable amount of navigable things in the rivers. That is why the voyage through the Modřany chamber, which is clogged, is stopped. “We are in contact with both the Vltava River Basin and the city districts affected by this situation. We will continue to closely monitor the level and flow of the river,” Hřib concluded.
