U.S. Department of Transportation Awards $4 Million to Minot Corridor Project

BISMARCK, N.D. - The U.S. Department of Transportation announced an award of $4,050,000 to Ward County. These funds were made available through the Better Utilizing Investments to Leverage Development (BUILD) grant program.

Specifically, this BUILD grant funding will allow Ward County to conduct planning, environmental documentation, and preliminary design for three corridors and their connected intersections, including the Outer Connector from US Highway 2/52 to US Highway 83 along County Roads 14 and 16, and the Inner Connector from US Highway 2/52 to County Road 14 along 30th Street SW.

"Minot's growth is a testament to the region's strong economy and welcoming community, and this BUILD grant will enhance residential and commercial transportation options in the area," said U.S. Senator Kevin Cramer (R-ND) chair of the Senate Environment and Public Works (EPW) Transportation and Infrastructure Subcommittee. "This grant will help ensure the Magic City's growth goes hand-in-hand with safer and more efficient travel."

Cramer and the North Dakota delegation wrote a letter supporting the application submitted by the City of Minot and Ward County, highlighting the need for the project.
