BY ORDER OF THE BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS

BURLEIGH COUNTY, NORTH DAKOTA

This 17^th day of February, 2026

Mark Splonskowski              

Burleigh County Auditor

Notice is hereby given that the Burleigh County Board of Commissioners have resolved that seasonal load restrictions will go into effect on Thursday, March 5, 2026 at 7:00 a.m. and will continue until further notice. Enforcement will be by the Burleigh County Sheriff’s Department and the ND Highway Patrol.

The US Army Corps of Engineers has issued a public notice regarding 26th St NE and 57th Ave NE.

Effective immediately, the bridge located on 132nd St NE approximately 1 ¾ miles north of 201st Ave NE is restricted to a 7 ton gross vehicle weight with a 12 foot width restriction. The restriction will be in place until further notice. Click here to view a map.

Effective immediately, River Road is now open to thru traffic between Wilderness Cove Road and Sandy River Drive.  The County has removed the landslide material that was blocking the roadway.  It is important to note that the removal of existing material is not a “fix” to the current instability in the area but just a cleanup operation in order to reopen River Road to traffic.  We are monitoring other fracture lines within the hillside that may (or may not) produce additional landslides at any point in the future.  Burleigh County will continue to monitor the slide area and provide additional information to the public as it becomes available. Click here for a map of the reopening.

Effective immediately, River Road is closed to thru traffic between Wilderness Cove Road and Sandy River Drive due to a landslide.  River Road is closed to all traffic at the slide area until further notice.  Burleigh County will continue to monitor the slide and will start clean-up towards the end of the week once the slide stabilizes, weather permitting.  Mobile message boards will be in place to advise the traveling public of updates as information becomes available.  No Detour will be provided.  Drivers should plan accordingly and use alternate routes.

Bismarck’s Growth Phasing Plan, adopted as a component of the City’s comprehensive plan, shows areas outside of city limits expected to be annexed and urbanized in the future. This plan is revised each year by the Bismarck Planning and Zoning Commission to account for changing development conditions, and this year’s amendment process may be a timely opportunity for reconsidering the negotiated boundaries of the extraterritorial area (ETA) between the City of Bismarck and Burleigh County.

The revisions to the map proposed by staff are available online here:
