The Federal Highway Administration awarded the North Dakota Department of Transportation $4,874,381.69 on December 15, 2025, under the Bridge Formula Program (CFDA 20.263) for structural work at multiple bridge locations in the Grand Forks District. The funding supports bridge rehabilitation and preservation activities across several sites, including the Sorlie Bridge at US 2/Demers Avenue in Grand Forks and structures over the Red River at North Dakota 59 near Pembina. 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. Performance of work extends across North Dakota through July 31, 2029. The Bridge Formula Program apportions funds to states via formula based on the relative costs of replacing bridges classified as in poor condition and rehabilitating bridges classified as in fair condition, under the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act.
