Minot Road Infrastructure

Minot’s prime location provides access to 3 U.S. Highways: HWY 2, HWY 52, and HWY 83. Our Magic city also offers a NE Bypass and the 55th Street Overpass to prevent trucking congestion and re-routing to avoid trains. In addition to state and local funding, Minot was awarded $14 million in federal funding for the 55th Street Bypass, which is a great example of how Minot’s transportation infrastructure has a nationwide importance.
