US 52 temporarily closed from Velva to ND 14

US Highway 52 is temporarily closed from Velva to the Junction of North Dakota Highway 14 from July 6-11. During this closure, Northern Plains Railroad will replace the crossing one-mile northwest of Voltaire.

Dynamic Message Sign boards and road signs will be in place to guide motorists along the detour.

During the project

  • Westbound traffic will be directed north on ND 14, west of Drake, to US 2. Then west on US 2 to meet US 52 at Minot or turn south on ND 41 to Velva. 
  • Eastbound traffic will be directed east on US 2 to ND 14 then south to US 52. Those in Velva will go north on ND 41 to US 2, then east on US 2 to ND 14 and south to US 52. 

The NDDOT would like to remind motorists to slow down and use caution throughout the work zone.
