The Mandan, Hidatsa and Arikara Nation of North Dakota will dedicate the new Four Bears Bridge on October 3.
The $55.4 million, 4,500-foot bridge crosses Lake Sakakawea. It replaces an older bridge that was dedicated in 1955 when the Garrison Dam was created, flooding reservation lands.
The bridge is named for Mandan and Hidatsa chiefs.
