The plaza design includes eleven spires on each end of the new bridge to symbolize "The Armistice", which is the peace agreement reached at the 11th hour of the 11th day in the 11th month of 1918 to the end of World War 1.
The spires are placed in a circular formation to symbolize military service members that protect our nation's people. The design also includes a presentation area in which flags are displayed representing the United States, Prisoner of War(POW MIA) and the State of North Dakota.
The tallest spire signifies the height of the tallest point of the trusses on the original Liberty Memorial Bridge.
