Traffic reduced to one lane starting Thursday in Fargo

(FARGO, N.D.) – Starting Thursday, June 6 at 6 a.m. CST, the North Dakota Department of Transportation (NDDOT) – Fargo District – will begin project work to replace northbound and southbound roadway markings on Interstate 29 (I-29). The work zone on I-29 will stretch from 40th Avenue North/County Road 20 to 52nd Avenue South in Fargo.

The scope of work includes removal of current roadway markings and replacement of new yellow edge lines and white travel lane markings. Project work will begin in the left lanes of I-29 in both northbound and southbound directions, resulting in a stretch of lane closure as they move through the work zone.

Weather dependent, project work will continue through the end of June.

Motorists are urged to use caution when driving through the area. To help prevent work zone crashes motorists are encouraged to slow down, allow extra distance between their vehicles and the vehicle in front of them, use caution and obey posted signs.
