The northern segments southern terminus is at Interstate 94 (I-94) north of New Salem and the northern terminus is a continuation as County Route 37 (CR 37) at the end of state maintenance in Stanton.[2]

Route description
[edit]Southern segment
[edit]ND 31 runs from the South Dakota state line where SD 65 ends and continues the entire 35.3 miles of the southern segment without any major intersections south of ND 21. However, ND 31 passes east of St Gertrude and Raleigh along the rural course outside of the Standing Rock Indian Reservation.
Northern segment
[edit]ND 31 resumes at I-94 north of New Salem and continues north for 17.5 miles before intersecting ND 25's western terminus in Hannover. 13 miles north, ND 31 joins a nearly two mile long concurrency with ND 200A before ending more than a mile later at CR 37 in the city of Stanton. The section north of ND 200A carries a part of the Lewis and Clark Trail, due to the close proximity to the nearby Missouri River.
