FARGO -- A portion of Elm Street in north Fargo could close as early as Saturday because of the rising Red River, according to a release from the city.
The Public Works Department typically closes the stretch between 14th and 15th avenues when the river reaches 18 feet. The Red is expected to crest at 19.8 feet Monday morning.
The rising Red River is forcing the Fargo Park District to raise the pedestrian bridge at Lindenwood Park on the city’s south side today. The bridge is expected to be back in use by later next week, depending on river levels.
The floating bridge at Dike East will also be removed today due to recent heavy rains. The Oak Grove pedestrian bridge will remain in place for now.
