It is pretty pathetic that a state with such a small population with such a huge amount of money (I know it needs Minnesota money too) can't build a much needed bridge.
Maybe it needs to be private like the old Fargo toll bridge to finally get done. Fargos got 7 bridges crossing the RR. They even have two right next to each other in North Fargo with one having very little traffic that connects yards away from the other bridge, essentially just making it a "short cut" and saving about one minute time from having to drive to the other bridge.
The bridges in Grand Forks cost substantially more because of the "truss" style spanning a larger area? where in Fargo its all "beam" style. Just throw a road over the water with a few pillars going down.
