Replacement of the Oak Park bridge on 4th Avenue NW will require the closure of the road through middle July. The closure will go into effect Tuesday, April 5th. Access to Oak Park will be available from the East on 4th Avenue.
Also on Minot’s construction horizon is the closure of 16th Street SW near the water treatment plant, though that closure isn’t planned until school is out for the summer. The work on 16th Street is required for the first part of Minot’s long-term flood protection project.
