project details

April 26, 2012

(FARGO, N.D.) – APRIL 26 – The North Dakota Department of Transportation (NDDOT) would like to update the traveling public on the 10th St. N reconstruction project. Starting today, April 26, crews closed the intersection of 10th St. N and 16th Ave. N to begin work on the underground installation.  This indicates the beginning of Phase 2 of the project.

Phase 1 activities will wrap up this weekend, with the Phase 2 configuration being in place by Monday afternoon.  The Phase 2 detour will take 10th St. N traffic west on 15th Ave. N to University Drive, where motorists will travel head-to-head (one lane in each direction) for two blocks. The detour route then turns east on 17th Ave. N to reconnect with 10th St. N. 

Earlier this month, 10th St. N was closed between 15th Ave. N and 17th Ave. N (including the 17th Ave. intersection). The scope of the project includes the complete reconstruction of 10th St. N between 12th Ave. N and 17th Ave. N. The project is needed to improve load-carrying capacity, ride quality, pedestrian facilities, drainage, lighting and safety features. The reconstruction project will also update the traffic signals, lighting, storm sewer, water main and the sanitary sewer system. Weather dependent, work will continue through mid–Oct. 2012.

Motorists are encouraged to use caution in the area and pay attention to posted signage and reduced speed limits.
