The Puppy Dog Coulee project will replace nearly 1,600 feet of failing storm sewers with new box culverts to the west, north, and east of Dakota Square Mall.

-New culverts near the intersection of 10th St SW/24th Ave SW on the east side of the mall, near Best Buy and Wings and Rings. The roadway will remain open to vehicle traffic, as work will be completed on one side at a time and a bypass road will be built for traffic.

-Phase 3 will install new box culverts on 22nd Ave SW just north of McDonald’s. A section of 22nd Ave SW will be closed during this phase.

- Phases 4-9 will install new box culverts and other infrastructure on a section of 16th St SW, a portion of 24th Ave SW, and on a section of Dakota Square Road west of Target. Work will also take place between Hotel Revel and Easter Seals. Traffic access will be maintained on 16th St SW when work is done on that phase, but a portion of Dakota Square Road will be closed during several phases. The project has a substantial completion date of July 31, 2026, with final completion by Oct. 2, 2026. Wagner Construction is the general contractor. The culverts convey storm water from west of Minot, under 16th St SW, through the area of the mall, and to the Highway 2 & 52 ditch.
