Location

The Fargo-Moorhead Toll Bridge is a former toll bridge on the Red River of the North between Fargo, North Dakota and Moorhead, Minnesota. It connects Moorhead's 15th Avenue N with Fargo's 12th Avenue N.

The bridge was to be privately operated until June 1, 2018, following a five-year extension of its original 25-year charter in 2013.^[2]^[3] In May 2014, The City of Moorhead sued Bridge Co., the owners of the bridge; and the city of Fargo. Judge Frank Racek ruled in favor of the city of Moorhead and that the ownership of the bridge would be transferred to the two cities.^[4]

Prior to the 2014 ownership transfer, the bridge had a toll of $0.75.^[2]

Flooding

Due to the frequent flooding of the Red river, the bridge is frequently flooded. The bridge is closed when the water level reaches 28',^[5] which occurred most recently in spring of 2023. ^[6]
