BISMARCK, ND — Global design firm, Stantec, was selected by the North Dakota Department of Transportation (NDDOT) to provide engineering-design services for three bridge projects over the Maple River. The projects include the replacement of two bridges on I-94 and one on ND 10, as well as the construction of two median crossovers for traffic control on I-94 during bridge construction.

Working in partnership with the state bridge office, Stantec will complete the preliminary utility coordination and engineering, roadway design, right of way acquisition, support of environmental documentation and permitting, roadway hydraulics, as well as leading the design for the median crossovers.

“For years, our team has supported NDDOT with high-quality engineering services to help meet the needs of the DOT and communities statewide,” said Pat McGraw, PE, an Associate and Senior Project Manager at Stantec. “We’re excited for the opportunity to continue working with the department and build on our record of success.”

Stantec has a long history of providing transportation engineering services to clients in the Midwest. The firm recently designed a two-mile major rehabilitation of ND 17 for NDDOT that included a grade raise of the roadway and stabilization of the shoulders while mitigating impacts to the surrounding wetlands.

In neighboring South Dakota, Stantec is currently supporting the South Dakota Department of Transportation with engineering services to preserve the Keystone Wye Bridges. The assessment and restoration process will protect this iconic gateway to the Black Hills and lay out a path for future preservation.

The goal of Stantec's bridge services is to bring together community stakeholders and experts from across various fields to create, maintain, rehabilitate, and manage safe, innovative bridges. Designers provide bridge engineering, bridge replacement, and bridge servicing on everything from suspension bridges to pedestrian bridges.
