Reede Construction is set to implement a traffic switch on Tuesday, September 30, as part of ongoing work along the U.S. Highway 2 and Dakota Parkway corridor in Williston. The change will transition motorists into a new work configuration, with signage and traffic control established before the adjustment takes effect.
On September 30, vehicles will be moved to a new alignment to allow crews access to the next construction area. One lane in each direction will remain open through the corridor, but at reduced speeds. Left turns may be restricted at unsignalized approaches within the work zone, and drivers are advised to follow posted detour and turn signage.
Business access will not be affected; all businesses in the area remain accessible via signed right-in/right-out entrances. Wayfinding signs will indicate the safest approach for customers.
The construction zone will have narrowed lane widths, and flagger-controlled operations are planned during the switch and as needed for short durations. Short-term delays are anticipated, especially during peak hours as motorists adapt to the new pattern.
Officials remind drivers: "Obey all posted signs, message boards, and flaggers. Do not make mid-block or unsanctioned U-turns. Plan extra time or consider alternate routes during the first days of the switch. Slow down—fines are doubled in work zones."
