MI-5 Northeast Tieback 6th Avenue NE Road Closure

As part of the ongoing efforts to complete all components of the infrastructure and flood protection measures in Minot, the 6th Avenue NE intersection on 8th Street will be closed to through traffic starting August 6, 2024. This closure is a necessary step in the Phase MI-5 Northeast Tieback Levee Project and the intersection of 8th Street and 6th Avenue is anticipated to be in place until September 6, 2024.

During this period, 5th Avenue NE will remain closed to through traffic starting at 3rd Street from the west. The 6th Avenue NE intersection will be fully closed, with traffic rerouted via 4th Street NE and 8th Avenue NE.  See the attached 2024 Construction Zone Map outlining the proposed detour route. 

During this period, access to local businesses and residences will be maintained. Another update to the traffic control route will be provided prior to school starting, as the closure does impact the traffic flow around Roosevelt School.  Signage will be in place to guide motorists through the detour routes and ensure smooth traffic flow around the construction zone.
