Project History:
The expectation of this project is that the new
bridge will be structurally redundant, replacing an
in-place fracture critical truss. The existing
structure was built in 1959 and has exhausted its
useful life. It is functionally obsolete, so geometry
and presumably safety will be enhanced.
Project Benefits:
Upgrading or replacement of a fracture critical
structure will provide continued inter-state access.
Project Risks:
Need to coordinate project scheduling with
emergency services, schools and transit, alternate
alignments are limited due to proximity to existing
infrastructure, closing the road during construction
could prove to be politically difficult, several
agencies are involved so an approval process is
required. Seasonal flooding of Red River may
provide construction difficulties.

PROJECT SUMMARY
Hwy. 1
Red River of the North at Oslo
Bridge 9100
State Project No. 4509-05
Project Description:
Rehabilitate or replace Mn/DOT Bridge 9100
over the Red River between Minnesota and
North Dakota. If a new bridge is constructed
there will likely need to be significant
regrading on each approach.

Construction cost estimates are adjusted to the mid-year of construction, using inflation rates provided by
OCPPM.
Safety will be improved as a result of upgrading or eliminating the current fracture critical
structure and improving geometry.
