Front Street Forward: Downtown Casselton Revitalization
May 5, 2026 Construction Update

Downtown Casselton’s streets and sidewalks, originally built in the 1950s, and the aging underground utilities under them, are getting an upgrade! After years of planning, construction is scheduled to start on Tuesday, May 26 at the intersection of Front Street and 8th Avenue.

Initial work will include:
– Pavement removal
– Underground utility and pipe installation
– Construction crews will work north along 8th Avenue before transitioning to Front Street, and continuing toward Langer

Once construction begins, weekly construction meetings will be held to review completed and upcoming work, traffic and access updates, and project timelines and adjustments.

Traffic & Access Information
– Message boards will be installed prior to the start of construction to help communicate traffic changes and detours.
– Ground vibration monitors will also be installed before work begins.
– Langer Avenue will remain open during the initial phase of construction.
– A temporary closure Langer and detour using 6th Avenue is anticipated sometime in June.

This project aims to revitalize the downtown area by modernizing its infrastructure, improving safety, and ensuring long-term functionality for the community. We want to keep you informed every step of the way.
