TRAFFIC AND CONSTRUCTION

Clay County Highway 22 will be closed at the intersection of US Highway 75 on Monday, Nov. 21.

Assistant City Engineer Tom Trowbridge said other work in the area that is nearing completion includes new sidewalks on both sides of Center Avenue, as well as a dedicated bike path on the north side of the avenue.

Lower courts found qualified immunity applied to Jonathan Large when he stopped Central Specialties Inc. (CSI) trucks and told the drivers to wait for law enforcement. CSI claims Large acted as law enforcement, but Large's attorneys said he acted within the scope of his job after telling the company to not use the roads.

The lane closure experiment in Moorhead concluded Wednesday. Now city engineers have a lot of feedback to filter through but are still looking for more.

As of Saturday, Oct. 22, County Roads 18 and 81 are open for traffic in all directions, including access to Interstate 29 ramps.

Lanes in the intersection of 13th Avenue West and Sheyenne Street will be closed to traffic as crews work to identify the site of the break, city of West Fargo officials said.

“Whoever commented about this making you not want to stop at businesses, it’s so true,” one person wrote.

A traffic experiment in Moorhead is enraging drivers across the metro as parts of Main Avenue are down to three lanes instead of five. Closures are a test to see if changing the road permanently would be a good idea.

At least 73 motorcyclists have been killed in crashes in Minnesota so far this year, while 16 have died in such crashes in North Dakota.
