There will be a temporary lane closure on 9th Street North between 1st Avenue North and Central Avenue on June 15 as NorthWestern Energy continues natural gas infrastructure upgrades.

The east/northbound lane of 9th Street North will be closed.

Northbound traffic will remain open but will be shifted around the work zone to maintain traffic flow.

Business Bites: Dairy Queen closing, replaced with Zesty Eatz; NorthWestern Energy projects; Mighty Mo Volleyball; new downtown bookshop; upcoming FWP events; Municipal Band summer series; NWGF, Family Promise receive grants; Scouts raise money for programs; new CMR girls basketball coach and more

The closure is expected to last one day, weather and construction conditions permitting.

This closure is necessary to ensure the safety of crews and the public as work continues on three natural gas infrastructure projects in the area that began earlier this month, according to NorthWestern.

Drivers, cyclists and pedestrians are asked to use caution when traveling through the area and to follow all posted signage and directions from onsite personnel.
