Driving Directions for Orientation

Construction Alert: Alternate Routes May Be Needed

Due to a major road construction project, the intersection of North 42nd Street and Demers Avenue is closed. Because this is a main entryway to campus, visitors traveling to the Memorial Union for UND Orientation Days may need to use an alternate route.

  • If you are traveling by Interstate 29, do not use Exit 140 during construction. Use Exit 141.
  • If you are traveling on U.S. Highway 2 (Gateway Drive), use North Columbia Road to enter campus.
  • GPS directions may not reflect current road closures or official detour routes.
  • Please allow extra travel time.
