Portion Of Sheyenne Street Closed

Sheyenne Street, from north of 17th Avenue W. to south of 13th Avenue W. until 5 p.m. today, Tuesday, Oct. 16, for paving operations of the new median lanes. This closure is necessary due to the limited space on this stretch of the road for the paving equipment to operate, trucks to haul material and personnel safety. Residents should utilize Veterans Boulevard/Ninth Street E. during the closure to travel north and south. An additional road closure for paving is estimated to happen the week of Oct. 22 to pave the medians on this stretch of road.

During the closure, residents with driveway access on the west side of the road north of 17th Avenue W. will be able to utilize the temporary access road in place for the project.

In connection with these paving operations, the contractor will begin sawing operations after paving, which may last into the evening. The sawing allows crews to control the cracking of the pavement and avoid premature failure of the road. The timing is critical and cannot be delayed once paving is completed. This will result in an increase in construction noise that lasts outside of normal construction hours.
