Utility work to close three Fargo roads this week

FARGO (KFGO) – Drivers in Fargo will see several road closures and lane restrictions begin around the same time this week because of underground utility work. Starting Wednesday, 25th Avenue South will close between 18th and 17th Streets South. Drivers will be directed to use 21st Avenue South as a detour. Also beginning Wednesday, northbound 40th Street South will close between Main Avenue and 2nd Avenue South. Traffic will be detoured to 42nd Street South. That closure is expected to last up to 10 days. And on Thursday, westbound 40th Avenue South will be reduced to one lane between 45th and 43rd Streets South. Traffic will be shifted into the center turn lane. That lane restriction is expected to last up to five days, while the 25th Avenue closure could last up to a week. Drivers should watch for detour signs and allow extra time when traveling through these areas.
