Project of the Month ~ March 2007

Wall Street Bridge—Fargo, ND/Moorhead, MN

A combined effort between Minnesota’s Clay County and North Dakota’s Cass County, the new Wall Street Bridge was designed to withstand record-setting floods like the one in 1997. The twelve-span bridge was constructed to allow for soil movement, an issue unique to the Red River Valley’s clay-rich soil. Aesthetically, the structure’s cut-stone appearance is reminiscent of early railroad bridges found throughout the region.
