(KNOX) – A suspension in planned construction at the intersection in front the Grand Forks International Airport was before the Grand Forks County Commission this week.

Grand Forks County Commissioners heard that project was not included in the 2027 construction plan for the Grand Forks-East Grand Forks Transportation Infrastructure Plan.
