THE 12TH AVE BRIDGE

The old toll bridge joining Moorhead and Fargo’s north side is the only privately owned bridge on the Red River. The span was completed by The Bridge Company in 1988 at a cost of $1.9 million. It was the first privately funded toll bridge built in the United States since 1948. The toll bridge is designed as a floodable structure, with removable lights and toll booth. There is no longer a toll on the bridge so both automobiles, pedestrians and bicycles cross for free.
