Traffic on the Centennial Road/Bismarck Expressway will be down to one lane in each direction starting April 25. This change is part of ongoing work related to the Interstate 94 Exit 161 Interchange project.
Crews will focus on removing existing raised medians and replacing them with asphalt. This alteration will facilitate future traffic adjustments while maintaining the traffic flow during the construction period. Pedestrian routes will remain accessible, though some changes are anticipated.
Temporary traffic signals are being set up at Miriam Avenue and Trenton Drive. Motorists are encouraged to observe posted signs and reduce speed in the construction zones.
The I-94 Exit 161 Interchange project, which started in the spring of 2024, is projected to continue through the summer of 2026. "The project is designed to improve traffic flow by eliminating two left-turn movements and adding right-turn loops for more efficient travel," according to the North Dakota Department of Transportation (NDDOT). "NDDOT appreciates the public’s patience and cooperation as this essential infrastructure project moves forward."
