(Bismarck, ND) — The state is looking at ways to fix up the 60-year-old Grant Marsh Bridge in Bismarck without necessarily having to replacing it. At a public meeting Wednesday night, NDDOT laid out the groundwork for future construction. Their goal is to reduce driver confusion an increase capacity on the bridge. On Wednesday evening, the state held a public meeting on recommended alternatives for replacing the bridge. The latest study aims to improve traffic operations, increase capacity, reduce driver confusion, and maintain a uniform freeway system. Engineers say they may not need to spend the money to build a new bridge if they can improve its structure. It’s a project that would likely be tackled in stages.
