The City of Bismarck announced on May 11 that Burnt Boat Drive will be closed between River Road and Broadview Lane starting Tuesday, May 12, for roadway construction. The closure is expected to last approximately three weeks, depending on weather conditions. Access to the Promontory Point area will remain available from Valley Drive and from the north. No detour will be provided during this period.
This closure affects a key route in Bismarck and may impact travel in the surrounding neighborhoods. Residents and commuters are advised to plan accordingly as there will not be an official detour set up by city officials.
The affected area is near several facilities associated with the Diocese of Bismarck, which offers pastoral support across western North Dakota and includes sites such as the Cathedral of the Holy Spirit and the Center for Pastoral Ministry, according to the official website. The diocese operates as a suffragan diocese within the Roman Catholic Church under the Holy See and spans 34,773 square miles with a Catholic population of 61,862 out of about 280,836 residents in its territory. It also handles pastoral care and evangelization throughout its region. Most Rev. David D. Kagan has served as bishop since his appointment in 2011, according to information provided by the Diocese of Bismarck.
