Foothill Road is now open to traffic. Knife River has completed base paving for Stage III of the improvement project (Normil Terrace to Cedar Links Drive), allowing the entire roadway to reopen. Detours in place since January 2024 are being removed.

Construction Continues – Expect Delays

Although the road is open, Foothill Road remains an active construction zone. Drivers should expect flagging, lane shifts, and delays as crews continue work.

  • Stage III (Normil Terrace to Cedar Links Drive): Sidewalk and landscaping construction is ongoing. One lane in each direction will remain open until final paving and striping are complete.
  • Stage IV (Cedar Links Drive to Delta Waters Road): Foothill Road will be open to through traffic, but flagging and delays should be expected while this stage continues to be constructed.
  • Water Main Installation: Crews are installing a 24” water main from Foothill Road to Cedar Links Drive, requiring additional flagging and delays in this area.

Coming in 2026:

  • Two lanes in each direction
  • Turn lanes for improved traffic flow
  • Sidewalks and bike lanes for safer mobility
  • Street lighting for better visibility

Please drive carefully and allow extra time while traveling through the area. Thank you for your patience as we work to improve Foothill Road!
