About The Project
The Sterling Interchange is a key intersection for rural and agricultural traffic traveling along Interstate 94, U.S. Highway 83, and North Dakota Highway 14. This bridge reconstruction project will address the deteriorating conditions of the overhead bridge that crosses I-94. The project involves removing the existing four-span bridge and reconstructing a new 48-foot-wide, two-span bridge with improved design features. Additionally, the north and south bridge approach roadways will be re-graded and resurfaced, and new guardrails will be installed. Portions of the interchange ramps and 30th Avenue Northeast frontage road will also be re-graded and resurfaced to accommodate the new bridge. During construction, traffic control measures will be in place to maintain traffic flow and detour routes will be provided for northbound and southbound traffic.

Work Zone Traffic Control
The overhead bridge that crosses I-94 at Exit 182 will be closed during construction. Eastbound and westbound interstate traffic will be maintained on I-94 through the construction zone; however, traffic will need to utilize the interchange ramps during intermittent periods of construction.
Northbound and southbound traffic that use the overhead bridge will first be detoured on I-94 to the nearest interchange exit (Exit 176 to the west or Exit 190 to the east). Traffic will then return to Exit 182 on I-94 before continuing north or south. Traffic control devices will also be in place to maintain traffic while the interchange ramps and frontage road are being reconstructed. Traffic control devices will also be in place to maintain traffic on the north side of Exit 182 and the southwest exit ramp for proposed culvert improvements.
