Wow! Fantastic News! An "Emergency Road Project" On Way To Completion -- Not Even Shovel-Ready Earlier This Year, and Now Almost Complete

Huge news, a very important road in the oil patch -- Highway 22 -- almost ready to be opened.

Highway 22 north of Killdeer is expected to be open this Friday after excess moisture and a landslide made the road a hazard in late May, one Department of Transportation official said.

DOT Dickinson District Engineer Larry Gangl said a temporary bypass about 19 miles north of Killdeer will be completed this week and car and truck traffic will be permitted on the unpaved two-lane road Friday.

The bypass project was in response to an exceptionally wet spring season that left the road sagging with crumbling pavement. 

I am impressed. I wonder who got the contract -- they must have been working 24/7. Again, I am very, very impressed. Amazing how a sense of urgency can help.
