(BISMARCK, ND) – The North Dakota Department of Transportation will help expedite completion of a long-planned railroad underpass project near the University of North Dakota campus, Gov. Kelly Armstrong announced in a meeting with Grand Forks officials in Bismarck.
The $20 million funding will come from the Department of Transportation’s Flexible Transportation Fund Program to ensure the project is fully funded and can start on time. The project will enhance traffic flow and safety by constructing an underpass at the railroad crossing on 42nd Street with an additional 10-foot-wide shared use path for cyclists and pedestrians.
Armstrong said using the flex fund will ‘improve public safety and save valuable time and resources for taxpayers and students.’
Construction is scheduled to begin in 2026, with completion expected in 2028.
