Route description

ND 3 starts at the South Dakota state line, where it meets SD 45. It runs north for 7 miles before turning left onto ND 11 in Ashley. ND 3 and ND 11 then run west for 8.5 miles before ND 3 turns north again. After 16.8 miles, it turns west onto ND 13 in Wishek. The two highways share the road until ND 3 turns right, continuing north towards I-94, passing through Napoleon and Dawson. At I-94, ND 3 merges and travels westbound for 7.7 miles before exiting the interstate.

ND 3 continues north from Steele for 41.2 miles where it intersects ND 36. It then turns right and shares a 2-mile concurrency with ND 200 near Hurdsfield. ND 3 continues north for 21 miles to US 52 in Harvey. Exiting Harvey, ND 3 proceeds north for 42.9 miles where it intersects ND 19 and US 2 in Rugby. It then meets the end of ND 17 and ND 60 about ten miles north of Rugby, and later, ND 66 near Rolette. ND 3 enters a concurrency with US 281 southeast of Dunseith and runs concurrently with it for 13.5 miles until they both end at the Canadian border just east of the International Peace Garden.
