Effective immediately, a vehicle length restriction of 20 feet is in place at the intersection of U.S. Highway 2 and 26th Street in Williston, North Dakota. This measure is part of ongoing traffic control efforts.
The restriction will last for approximately seven days to accommodate critical construction activities in the area. It affects vehicles over 20 feet long, including trailers, large trucks, RVs, and buses, which must find alternate routes.
All relevant signage and message boards have been updated to inform drivers of this change. The restriction is tied to temporary traffic patterns due to manhole and intersection modification work.
Officials state that "this restriction is necessary to maintain traffic flow and safety during a narrow traffic shift and confined work zone." Oversized vehicles attempting to navigate the restricted area could cause delays or hazards.
Motorists are advised to plan for slower traffic and potential delays within the work zone.
