FARGO, N.D. – On Thursday, August 7, Senator John Hoeven will mark a major milestone as the Red River is permanently re-routed through the control structure of the Fargo-Moorhead region’s flood protection project. The control structure is the central feature of the project and was constructed utilizing the $750 million federal funding share that Hoeven secured, serving as the largest of the three gated structures making up the southern embankment. Diverting the river serves as a key step toward making the project fully operable by spring 2027.
