A Graphic Of The New Underpass To Be Built Under The Existing Bypass "West" Of Williston

A reader sent me this (a huge thank you).

This is the graphic of the new underpass under the bypass which used to be "west" of Williston.

This is an incredible interchange/underpass  -- I am quite impressed. Note that in addition to the underpass itself, there is a 3/4 interchange at 18th Street.

This is going to be a real headache during construction, but my hunch is that the engineers have come up with some great detours, based on my recent experience at the "new" four-mile corner under construction now. But with much of Williston west of the bypass now, and the hospital on the east side of the bypass there was little choice. I remember Grand Forks grappling with a similar problem decades ago when the hospital was on one side of the tracks and a large segment of the population was "trapped" on the other side.
