Road Construction In North Dakota -- It Just Keeps Building

Do you remember this post back on June 1, 2013: $1 billion North Dakota road construction program will be biggest in the state's history?

I honestly thought it couldn't get much bigger than that. Then Don happens to see this data point:

The North Dakota Department of Transportation is aggressively addressing infrastructure improvements to enhance safety and traffic movement in western North Dakota. The NDDOT invested approximately $940 million in state projects from 2008-2012 to preserve and improve transportation infrastructure in this area. The state is investing an additional $1.16 billion in the 2013-2015 biennium, as well as continuing to plan and work on future road projects.
