Things You Should Know

These projects are not part of an assessment district and there will be no direct cost to adjacent property owners. A grant was provided through the North Dakota Department of Transportation’s Transportation Alternatives Program and federal sources. This grant covers 80% of the total cost of these projects. The remaining 20% is locally funded. It includes new concrete sidewalks, accessible pedestrian ramps, curb, and gutters.

During the operations, there will be times when construction equipment may slow down or restrict traffic. Please be prepared to share the roadway with construction equipment throughout the duration of the project.

If access to your driveway will be impacted due to concrete removal or placement, the contractor is required to give you a minimum 2 calendar days notice prior to removing any of the concrete that would impact your access.
