Highway Department

The Grand Forks County Highway Department is committed to maintaining a safe, efficient, and cost-effective transportation network for residents and businesses. Led by the County Engineer, who is appointed by the County Board of Commissioners, the department oversees the construction, maintenance, and improvement of county roads and bridges to support personal mobility and the movement of goods. Located at 1700 N Columbia Road, the department also provides important resources such as traffic safety policies, utility permits, and border wait time information. Landowners are reminded to keep roadways clear by avoiding snow placement in rights-of-way to ensure safe travel for all.
