Sixteenth Street from Burdick Expressway to 16th Avenue Southwest fully reopens Tuesday, Oct. 14, the City of Minot has announced.

With the reopening of 16th Street, the temporary neighborhood connection between 14th Avenue Southwest and Cook Drive and 18th Street has been removed permanently. Neighborhood residents can once again access their properties directly to and from 16th Street, the city stated.

The temporary traffic signal at the intersection of 16th Street and 11th Avenue Southwest will remain in place until the permanent traffic signal and street lighting are installed in November, completing the south project. Brief, intermittent lane closures may be necessary during that installation period.

Drivers are encouraged to remain alert, slow down, and exercise caution when traveling through the area as crews continue to finish landscaping and cleanup along the corridor.

Sixteenth Street from 14th Avenue Southwest to Burdick Expressway has been reconstructed with new concrete pavement. The Burdick Expressway intersection has been rebuilt. Upgraded storm sewer, water main and sanitary sewer infrastructure have been installed, along with new curbs, sidewalks and shared use path along the east side of 16th Street. Roadway drainage and grading also have been improved.
