Estimated Substantial Completion: 08/01/2019
Project History:
Rehabilitate or replace Mn/DOT Bridge 4700 over
the Red River between Minnesota and North
Dakota. Completed bridge will include improved
access for pedestrians and bicyclists. If a new
bridge is constructed the length and alignment will
need to closely match the existing conditions due
to proximity of downtown businesses and in-place
flood protection facilities. The existing bridge is
600 feet long.
Project Benefits:
Upgrading or replacement of a fracture critical
structure will provide continued inter-state access
in a metropolitan area.
Project Risks:
Need to coordinate project scheduling with
emergency services, schools and transit. Bridge
4700 is one of 24 historic bridges Mn/DOT has
committed to the FHWA to preserve. Proximity to
downtown business and inplace flood protection
limits bridge profile. Seasonal flooding of Red
River may provide construction difficulties.

North Dakota DOT is the lead agency. The district needs more time for project
development because the bridge is a historic structure and the alternative of rehabilitation
instead of replacement requires more evaluation time.
