Notice is hereby given that seasonal load restirictions will be removed on County and Township roadways effective Monday, May 11th at 7:00 A.M. Normal restrictions will go into effect at that time.

Burleigh County and its participating communities (Lincoln, Regan, Wilton, and Wing) have received formal approval of the updated Burleigh County Multi-Hazard Mitigation Plan (MHMP) from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and the North Dakota Department of Emergency Services. The plan, led by Emergency Management Director Mary Senger, is approved for the five-year period of April 29, 2026, through April 28, 2031. It identifies key hazards, assesses risks, and outlines projects to help communities better prepare for, withstand, and recover from disasters.
Why the Plan Matters
The Multi-Hazard Mitigation Plan represents a proactive approach to reducing risk. Studies show that every $1 spent on pre-disaster mitigation saves society an average of $6 in future disaster costs. The plan helps prioritize limited resources, raises awareness of local risks, and identifies potential projects to build long-term community resilience.
Access to Grant Funding
An approved MHMP is a critical requirement for accessing multiple federal hazard mitigation grant programs which makes Burleigh County and its partner communities eligible for significant FEMA and state funding opportunities.
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.
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.
