Zone: Downtown

Today, contractors for the City of Fargo closed a short section of Main Avenue between University Drive and 14th Street S to start an emergency sewer repair.

Project needs for the repair have increased and driving lanes will not be reopened to traffic on Monday, November 20, as originally planned. Traffic will continue to be detoured via 1st Avenue N or 1st Avenue S through next weekend, Sunday November 26.

Business access from Main Avenue will continue to be allowed off University Drive for the driveways that don’t have alternative side street access between west of University Drive and 14th Street S.

Detour routes are marked separately for car and truck routes through the area as:
CAR ROUTE:

  • Eastbound Main Avenue: 15th Street S to 1st Avenue S to 11th Street S to Main Avenue
  • Westbound Main Avenue: University to 1st Avenue S to 15th Street S to Main Avenue

TRUCK ROUTE:

  • Eastbound Main Avenue - 25th Street S to 1st Avenue N to University to Main
  • Westbound Main Avenue: same as cars; University to 1st Avenue S to 15th Street S to Main Avenue

Temporary four-way stop signs are found on the detour routes to help safely move traffic through the route and maintain posted speeds. Motorists can expect delays around these intersections on the detour routes.

Flaggers will be utilized whenever necessary to keep traffic moving safely and freely throughout the active work zone.
