(FARGO, ND) – As part of a multiyear effort to transform the NP Avenue corridor in Downtown Fargo to prioritize bicycles and pedestrians, The City of Fargo will reconstruct the next segment of NP Avenue, spanning from 8th Street North to Broadway, in 2025.
Similar to the roadway configuration to the west, this year’s project will include a new roadway surface, on-street parking lanes, dedicated bike lanes, improved sidewalks and boulevard plantings.
The project will replace the existing water main, sanitary sewer, storm sewer, concrete pavement, curb and gutter, driveway aprons and streetlights. The water main on NP Avenue was installed over 100 years ago and is being replaced to minimize impacts and costs associated with breaks. The existing section of street has exceeded its life expectancy and requires reconstruction due to significant deterioration.
City Commissioners voted 5-0 on Wednesday night to move ahead with the 2025 project, which is estimated to cost $2.8 million. About 30% of the cost will be paid for through special assessments and the remainder through a State grant and City funds.
In 2026, the City will continue the transformation of NP Avenue by reconstructing the stretch from Broadway to 4th Street North.
