Route description[]

U.S. Route 10's western terminus as seen from I-94/US 52 near West Fargo

US 10 begins as a four-lane highway with a median at a trumpet interchange with I-94/US 52 (exit 343) just west of West Fargo. Once entering West Fargo, US 10 passes to the north of Bonanzaville, USA, a history museum complex before entering the downtown area of West Fargo. Continuing east, US 10 enters Fargo at its intersection with 45th St. and then intersects I-29/US 81 (exit 65) at a parclo interchange a mile later. East of this interchange, US 10 loses its median but remains two lanes each direction after intersecting 25th St. After this intersection, US 10 curves slightly southeast and runs along the Northern Transcon railroad tracks, heading into downtown. In downtown Fargo, US 10 passes to the south of the former Fargo railway station, which is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. At the east end of downtown Fargo, US 10 intersects 2nd St. at a roundabout before crossing over the Red River of the North and into Moorhead, Minnesota on the Veterans Memorial Bridge.

All of US 10 in North Dakota is part of the National Highway System,[3] a network of highways that are considered essential to the country's economy, defense, and mobility by the Federal Highway Administration.[3]
