Sunrise Video Of New 4-Mile Corner, Williston, North Dakota

I drove into Williston at sunrise; unfortunately I turned east, directly into the sun, early in the morning, Thursday, August 21, 2014. The video starts about a mile south of the corner, driving north. Note the speed entering the corner - about 32 mph; and exiting the corner about 23 mph; it will be better once the right-hand entering curve is completed. For what it's worth, here's the poor-quality video:
