    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!
