The North Dakota Department of Transportation (NDDOT) will introduce new traffic patterns utilizing temporary loop ramps at the Interstate 94 (Exit 161) interchange starting the week of May 5, 2025. This adjustment is part of an ongoing project aimed at improving the traffic flow in the area.

The new traffic configuration involves temporary loop ramps that will impact how drivers access the I-94 from Centennial Road and Bismarck Expressway. According to details provided, drivers on Centennial Road/Bismarck Expressway will use a temporary loop to enter I-94 West, as the existing westbound on-ramp will undergo reconstruction. Similarly, drivers exiting I-94 East towards Centennial Road/Bismarck Expressway will also transition to a temporary loop off-ramp, with the current eastbound off-ramp to be closed for reconstruction. Meanwhile, drivers accessing I-94 East or exiting I-94 West will use the existing ramps.

“Drivers on Centennial Road/Bismarck Expressway will begin using the temporary loop on-ramp to enter I-94 West. The existing I-94 West on-ramp will be closed for reconstruction.” Furthermore, “Drivers on I-94 East will begin using the temporary loop off-ramp to access Centennial Road/Bismarck Expressway. The existing I-94 East off-ramp will be closed for reconstruction.”

The changes are expected to be in place until early fall 2025. NDDOT encourages the public to stay updated on the changes by visiting their website at dot.nd.gov/exit161. The ongoing construction is part of a larger redesign project initiated in spring 2024, expected to run through summer 2026. The project’s aim is to enhance traffic flow by eliminating left-turn movements and adding efficient right-turn loops.

“The NDDOT appreciates the public’s patience as this essential infrastructure project moves forward.”
