Collins Ave Lane Closure with Detour.

Collins Ave Lane Closure Begins Oct. 10

Oct. 3, 2024 –The northbound lane of Collins Avenue at its intersection with Division Street NE will be closed for approximately four days beginning Thursday, Oct. 10. The closure is necessary for Montana-Dakota Utilities (MDU) to replace older gas transmission lines in the area. At the intersection of Collins and Division, there isn’t a way to remove and replace the full concrete panel without closing one lane of traffic.

Northbound traffic will be detoured to Division Street, then Third Ave NE and 14th Street NE to get back to Collins Ave.

Concrete replacement requires a two- to three-day window for the concrete to cure. During this time, there may not be workers present but the lane will still be closed.

Contractors anticipate reopening the northbound lane of Collins Avenue on Monday, Oct. 14.

Motorists are encouraged to slow down and use caution in the area and along the detour. Allow ample time if the route is required for your trip.

Please contact the Engineering Department with questions regarding the closure or project at 701-667-3225.
