About The Project

The North Dakota Department of Transportation is studying potential roadway improvements on the Pacific Avenue (I-94 Business Loop) between I-94 Exit 24 and Exit 27 through Medora, ND. 

The project consists of potential improvements to Pacific Avenue (I-94 Business Loop) from the Little Missouri River Bridge to 6th Street (City Section), and a mill and overlay for the portions of roadway outside the City Section (from Exit 24 to Exit 27). The Little Missouri River Bridge (Structure # 0094-901.376) may be widened and improved. 

The project may require permanent and/or temporary right-of-way.  Potential right-of-way needs are related to roadway and bridge widening from the Little Missouri River Bridge to East River Road North, and potential intersection improvements at Pacific Avenue and East River Road North. It is anticipated that potential improvements in other downtown areas of Medora will not require permanent right-of-way. 

Public Input

The next scheduled presentation will be at the Medora City Council meeting February 6, 2024.
