I won't pretend to be smart enough to give you an accurate estimate of the volume of water (although a 10' x 3' by 1' wide section is 30 square feet, which is 224.4 gallons of water) But I'll take a stab at it...
With your description 1,000 gallons per second isn't out of the question. An hour long flow at this rate would bring in 3,600,000 gallons of water. That kind of flow coming in would present an incredible amount of energy and would require a dam and overflow engineered to handle that kind of power every time it rains and to hold water after many sequences of being submerged then being dry as the water recedes between rain events. I imagine the build for a dam/road that could handle this is going to feel like overkill. But anything less wouldn't last long under these conditions. Definitely a challenge.
