Traffic on North 4th Street and North Washington Street in Bismarck will be impacted this week while roadwork continues on I-94, which crosses above both streets. To complete bridge work on I-94 above North 4th Street and North Washington Street, traffic lanes will be narrowed on those streets and traffic will shift left or right at different stages of the project. Work in the North 4th Street bridge area will start on Wednesday, followed by North Washington Street bridge area on Thursday. Both streets will remain open to traffic throughout this phase of the project, which will take 1-2 weeks to complete.
Construction work on I-94 is currently taking place from the Grant Marsh Bridge in Mandan to Exit 161 (Bismarck Expressway) in Bismarck.
During construction:
•I-94 will continue to be open to east and westbound traffic throughout the construction project, utilizing a combination of lane closures and head-to-head traffic.
•Twelve-foot width restrictions remain in place.
•Speeds are reduced to 45 mph. Speeds may be reduced even further at times throughout the construction zone.
•Vehicles are encouraged to use the zipper merge technique to enter sections of lane reductions in this project. To zipper merge, use both open lanes until the orange cones direct traffic into a single lane. At that point, vehicles should take turns alternating into the lane reduction to move more traffic more efficiently through the construction zone.
Construction work is expected to be completed in late fall. Regular updates on construction progress will be provided to the public throughout the construction project.
