It was big news in 2023 when the Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railway received final approval to replace its bridge over the Missouri River between Bismarck and Mandan North Dakota. This unique bridge was completed in 1882, and has four large piers with three spans. Although it’s a beautiful bridge, it is unable to accommodate all modern rail cars. BNSF intends to complete the new bridge by 2026, just north of the old one. Work has already begun on the new bridge, and the old one will continue to handle the traffic until the new one is complete. See the original bridge in action and how the new construction was progressing during the summer of 2024.
