What happened
Moorhead officially completed the $171 million 11th Street underpass, which is the largest transportation project in the city’s history. The underpass, which is located near Moorhead High School, was funded by a combination of state legislative appropriations, federal grants, and funding provided by the Minnesota Department of Transportation. The new grade separation is designed to eliminate more than 70 train blockages each day.
