This story is about the truck traffic and the need for road work and highway safety, but there are a number of data points that suggest just how busy the oil patch in North Dakota will be these next two years.
It is being reported that 2,500 trucks are on the road every day in the Fort Berthold Indian Reservation but that number will triple over the next two years.
It is being predicted that there will be 200 to 400 more wells on the reservation over this time period.
Truck traffic will not decrease until a) the wells are completed; and, b) more pipelines are put in place.
(Remember, links to regional websites break early and break often.)
