The public got a first chance to weigh in on a proposed interchange project along I-29 in Grand Forks last night (Wednesday).
The North Dakota DOT joined engineers and city officials to discuss the potential for an interchange between 32nd Avenue South and 62nd.
I-29 was constructed in 1968. Since the original construction no new interchanges have been built. A new interchange at 47th Avenue South is expected to reduce the projected congestion on 32nd by as much as 40%.
The proposed project is still in the early design stage. An environmental document is expected to be completed by the summer of 2023.
