Fargo’s Flood Diversion Now Complete | Fargo News

Fargo-Moorhead just wrapped up its biggest flood protection milestone yet—finishing the last of 19 bridges in a $3.2 billion diversion project designed to reroute Red River water and keep the metro safe during floods. Built in record time through a public-private partnership, the project faced legal hurdles and weather delays but kept moving—with crews working around the clock. Sixteen bridges for roads, three for railroads, all spanning a 30-mile channel, with construction starting in 2022 and the first bridge done by December 2024. Now that the bridges are complete, crews focus on finishing aqueducts and channel work, aiming for full completion this fall. Say goodbye to sandbagging—this system will be ready for spring floods. The new bridge isn’t open to traffic yet, but road improvements nearby should be done by September. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
