ND 1806 CLOSURE
ND 1806 has become inundated with breakups and pavement deterioration beyond
repair. The Department is working on a contract to grind up the existing pavement
and base, add some gravel, and maintain the gravel surface until we can find the
resources to widen the roadway, place new base gravel, and asphalt paving
sufficient enough to support the heavier loads generated by the industry.
Monday morning (6/13/2011), the Williston Sign crew will begin signing for the
closure of ND 1806, north of Watford City to Tobacco Garden. The entire highway
will be closed to thru traffic. Those living along ND 1806 will be allowed to
travel to the nearest detour location for access. Also, oil operators needing to
get to oil locations isolated from other roadways, can use minimum mileage for
that purpose. There are a couple pieces of ND 1806 that are necessary to tie
McKenzie County routes together: Cty 12 to 36 & Cty 10 to 35, these segments will
not be barricaded off.
ND 1806 will revert to an 80,000# roadway effective Monday morning. (the 5 ton
will not be removed until the closure is complete). Any permitting will be based
on the 80,000#.
A detour route has been established and will be signed. Eastbound: take ND 23
east and north to McKenzie County 10 (north of Keene), then west on McKenzie
County 10 (39th str.) to McKenzie County 43, then northbound on MC 43 to meet
with ND 1806 near Tobacco Garden Recreation Area. The return from Tobacco Garden
will the reverse of the eastbound route. Watch for signing.
