GF / EGF bridge analysis could be expanded

By Doug Barrett Jul 22, 2022 | 7:29 AM

The scope of work being incorporated into an RFP to hire a bridge consultant is being expanded. It follows a recent meeting between leaders in Grand Forks and East Grand Forks.

East Grand Forks has been working on the draft document with a target on a river crossing at 32nd Avenue South. They have requested a 50-50 cost share for the analysis with Grand Forks as a show of good faith.

Grand Forks has been reluctant to support the 32nd Avenue corridor in favor of a location further south on Merrifield Road. The two sides will now include the Merrifield Road location and Elks Drive in the RFP.

East Grand Forks Mayor Steve Gander says he believes this will help push discussions to the next level.

A committee comprised of representatives from Grand Forks….East Grand Forks…Grand Forks County…and Polk County will select the consultant.
