Zone: Downtown
Last week, contractors for the City of Fargo’s 4th Avenue N Reconstruction and Water Main Replacement Project started on the first phase of work at 3rd Street N without needing to close portions of 4th Ave. N. This week crews will continue to extend the work zone to the west.
Starting tomorrow, Wednesday, July 19, at 7 AM, drivers will experience the following road closures and traffic impacts:
- 4th Ave. N: Closed east of the 4th Street N intersection through the 3rd Street N intersection
- 3rd St. N: Closed north of 4th Ave. N to the railroad tracks for approximately three more weeks
Crews will continue to progress through the work zone from east to west. Early next month, contractors will begin phase two of the project, impacting 4th Ave. N from 4th St. N to east of Broadway. The start of the second phase will overlap with work being complete in the first phase of work.
Drivers should use side streets to navigate around the work zone. Sidewalks are maintained for pedestrians and business access during both phases of the project on 4th Ave. N.
Project improvements include complete roadway reconstruction, water main replacement, sanitary and storm sewer replacement, new street lighting and sidewalks. This stretch of 4th Ave. N roadway, as well as many underground utilities in the area, was originally installed more than 100 years ago. The road is deteriorating and utilities are breaking, so replacement will minimize impacts and costs. All project work is scheduled to be completed early November, weather permitting.
