    MnDOT update: Portion of 11 St to close week of May 4 for finishing work
    Heads up, Moorhead! During the week of May 4, lasting for about a week, there will be an additional closure on 11 St between 1 Ave N and 2 Ave N. Crews will be completing some sidewalk work in that block just north of 1 Ave. Please follow the signed detour. 
    Once they finish there, the crews will begin doing some finishing touches along First Avenue North, too! Motorists can expect to encounter a lane closure on 1 Ave N during that time.
    Construction progress on 11 St Underpass
    Progress has continued this spring on the project's excavations and retaining walls in Stage 3 on Center Ave and 11 St. That work remains the primary focus, as crews construct, pour and wait for curing on the retaining walls. They'll soon begin the final connection of the underground utilities as well, and then will start grading the new roadway underneath the underpass bridges on 11 St and rebuilding Center Ave.
    As always, we appreciate your patience and understanding as the project progresses. We are still on schedule for completion in Fall 2026!

    City invites public feedback on 1 Ave N Study

    The City of Moorhead is evaluating improvement options for 1 Ave N from 12 St to Center Avenue (Hwy 10) in Moorhead. Ongoing redevelopment, revitalization, and deteriorating pavement conditions along the corridor has prompted an evaluation of the corridor for future reconstruction.

    The project will evaluate current and future conditions and utilize public feedback to develop corridor concepts for future implementation. Public feedback is being collected through a project website to gather information on topics such as safety, pedestrian/mobility access, pavement conditions, and business access.  

    The current construction timeline is tentatively planned for 2027 or 2028.
