New plan for 3rd Street bridge will impact travel
The Third Street Northeast Bridge in Minot is in worse shape than expected, and repairs are coming—but they won’t be easy. The City Council approved a plan that will require detouring northbound traffic for three months, with full closures during key repairs. A damaged bridge bearing, crucial for stability, forced a shift in strategy. Meanwhile, the council debated another infrastructure issue: sending street repair contracts to out-of-state companies. Some argue it’s necessary for cost savings; others say it undercuts Minot’s local businesses. Either way, the city’s roads and bridges are in for a long season of work.
Jill Schramm has the full story on the bridge from Monday’s City Council meeting.
