Police made the call

The Fargo Police Department confirmed the closure. It is their scene and their decision on when traffic moves again.

Officers are on scene

Police are working the crash site now, which is why nothing is moving through that corner of south Fargo.

“officers are on the scene”

Expect a long wait

The department says the intersection will stay closed for an extended period. This is not a ten minute delay.

“expected to remain closed for an extended period of time”

Route around it

Drivers are being asked to avoid the area entirely rather than try to squeeze past. Pick another north south route through south Fargo.

“Motorists are being asked to avoid the area.”

Watch for the all clear

Fargo police say they will post an update when the intersection reopens. Until that lands, assume it is still shut.
