Various bridge locations in grand forks district; structural work

The Federal Highway Administration awarded the North Dakota Department of Transportation $7.422015 million on December 15, 2025, under the Bridge Formula Program (CFDA 20.263) for structural work at multiple bridge locations in the Grand Forks District. Work extends through July 31, 2029, and is performed in North Dakota.

The funded projects address the Sorlie Bridge at US 2/Demers Avenue in Grand Forks and structures over the Red River at ND 59 near Pembina. Specific work includes retaining wall removal, bridge deck crack sealing, deck spall repair, polyurethane foam joint seal installation, bridge approach slab removal and replacement, bearing modification, finger expansion joint modification, deck overlay, and removal and replacement of inlet castings and rings. The Bridge Formula Program, established under the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, funds highway bridge replacement, rehabilitation, preservation, protection, or construction projects on public roads. Funding is apportioned to states via formula based on the relative costs of replacing bridges in poor condition and rehabilitating bridges in fair condition.
