North Dakota Department of Transportation (NDDOT) officials announced June 2 that state highway bridges along the Missouri River are structurally sound and not in danger from the impending high water.
The NDDOT has awarded a contract to add and extend riprap that protects the structure under the Grant Marsh Bridge and Liberty Memorial Bridge in the Bismarck/Mandan area. The NDDOT is monitoring these bridges and other highway bridges located along the Missouri River both north and south of the Garrison Dam.
“As a precautionary measure, crews will continue to monitor all bridges along the Missouri River in order to mitigate any issues with erosion,” states Francis Ziegler, NDDOT Director.
