Bismarck, N.D. – The Bismarck city government has announced that 24th Street will be closed between Main Avenue and Broadway Avenue starting Monday, June 29, 2026, to allow for road and railroad work in the area.
According to the city, the closure is expected to last approximately one month while crews complete infrastructure improvements. Officials said the work is necessary to support ongoing maintenance and upgrades to both roadway and railroad crossings in the corridor.
During the closure, access is expected to remain open to local businesses in the affected area. City officials emphasized that maintaining business access is a priority throughout the construction period, even as through traffic is detoured.
In addition to the 24th Street closure, westbound traffic on Main Avenue will also be impacted. The city said westbound Main Avenue will have reduced lanes near 24th Street for the duration of the project, which may lead to slower traffic flow and potential delays for drivers traveling through the area.
Officials are advising motorists to plan ahead and consider alternate routes to avoid congestion near the construction zone. Drivers are also being urged to use caution when traveling in the area due to changing traffic patterns and the presence of construction crews.
The city noted that the project involves both roadway and railroad work, which requires coordination between multiple agencies and contractors. Work of this nature often includes surface repairs, infrastructure upgrades, and safety improvements designed to improve long-term traffic flow and reduce maintenance issues.
While a specific completion date has not been confirmed beyond the estimated one-month timeline, officials said updates will be provided if the schedule changes due to weather or construction conditions.
The closure is part of ongoing infrastructure efforts aimed at maintaining and improving key transportation routes within Bismarck. City leaders said such projects are essential to ensure safety and efficiency for both drivers and rail operations in the area.
Residents and commuters are encouraged to stay updated through official city communication channels for any changes related to the project timeline or traffic impacts.
The city thanked residents and businesses for their patience during the construction period, noting that short-term disruptions are expected to result in long-term improvements to transportation infrastructure in the area.
