====Highways====
[[File:Minotwide.jpg|thumb|upright=1.15|US 83 running through north Minot]]

Three major U.S. highways run through the city, connecting it to Canada, Montana, and two interstates: [[U.S. Route 2 in North Dakota|US 2]], [[U.S. Route 52 in North Dakota|US 52]], and [[U.S. Route 83 in North Dakota|US 83]].

US 2 runs east–west and is a four-lane divided highway from Minot east to [[Grand Forks, North Dakota|Grand Forks]] and beyond as well as west to [[Williston, North Dakota|Williston]] and into Montana. Minot is midpoint along the North Dakota segment of US 2.

US 83 runs north–south through central Minot as [[Broadway (Minot, North Dakota)|Broadway]]. It is a four-lane divided highway from Minot south to [[Bismarck, North Dakota|Bismarck]] and north to [[Minot AFB, North Dakota|Minot Air Force Base]]. Just north of the main gate at the base, the road reduces to two lanes and crosses the Canada–US border at [[Westhope, North Dakota|Westhope, ND]], where it becomes [[Manitoba]] Highway 83.

US 52 is a two-lane highway that runs southeast–northwest. Southeast from Minot, it follows a slightly circuitous route to [[Jamestown, North Dakota|Jamestown]]. US 52 then merges with [[Interstate 94 in North Dakota|Interstate 94]] (I-94) after Jamestown, heading due east to [[Fargo, North Dakota|Fargo]]. Northwest from Minot, US 52 crosses the Canada–US border at [[Portal, North Dakota|Portal, ND]]/North Portal, [[Saskatchewan|SK]], where it becomes [[Saskatchewan Highway 39]].

The [[Minot Bypass]] follows alternate alignments of these roads around the city in its northwest and northeast quadrants, with southwest and southeast bypasses in preliminary planning stages.

====Airport====
[[Minot International Airport]] is served by three airlines as well as charters and air taxi service around North Dakota.
