BISMARCK, N.D. — Beginning the first week of September, a portion of Miriam Avenue will close east of Centennial Road/Bismarck Expressway and will reopen to the west. This is a part of the ongoing work on the Interstate 94 Exit 161 Interchange project. A detour will be provided via Revere Drive and Hancock Drive.
The closure will remain in effect until the concrete work in the area is complete.
Lane closures continue on Centennial Road/Bismarck Expressway. The City of Bismarck will also be closing a stretch of Divide Avenue in the area during this time.
Businesses will remain open. Drivers are encouraged to find alternate access routes, especially if traveling to the nearby landfill or other destinations east of Centennial Road/Bismarck Expressway.
Motorists are advised to follow posted signs and stay alert for crews and equipment while driving through the work zone.
The I-94 Exit 161 Interchange project, which began in spring 2024, will continue through summer 2026. The project is designed to improve traffic flow by eliminating two left-turn movements and adding right-turn loops for more efficient travel. NDDOT appreciates the public’s patience and cooperation as this essential infrastructure project moves forward.
