These funds were made available through the Bridge Investment Program (BIP) and will be distributed to the following projects: $9,400,000 for the Safe and Resilient Passages at Standing Rock Project. The NDDOT, in cooperation with local communities and stakeholders from the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe, is planning to replace two bridges along North Dakota Highway 1806 in Morton and Sioux counties: the Backwater Bridge over Canta Peta Creek and the Cannonball River Bridge. $2,700,000 for the Viking Bridge Reconstruction Project. The Viking Bridge is in fair condition, but at risk of falling into poor condition within the next three years. The new bridge is designed to meet current standards by widening the sidewalk, expanding the travel area, and incorporating a non-mountable traffic barrier. The bridge design will include measures to prevent scouring and enhance resilience against flooding events. “Bridges are critical for the safe and efficient movement of people and goods across North Dakota and beyond,” said U.S. Senator Kevin Cramer (R-ND), Ranking Member of the Senate Environment and Public Works Subcommittee on Transportation and Infrastructure. “These projects will enhance safety, support local growth, and ensure reliable infrastructure for years to come.” | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-07T21:57:20Z |
