Bakken Economy -- October 30, 2015

Updates

November 8, 2015: must be a slow news day in Dickinson. The Dickinson Press has the story today with the headline suggesting there's a debate about a four-lane highway from Williston to Dickinson.

What amazes me is that the state says it could take as long as a decade to get it completed. I assume the bridge and going through the Badlands would be a bit of a challenge, but ten years? Give me a break.

From The Williston Wire:

The North Dakota Department of Transportation will hold Public Scoping Meetings in November regarding the proposed  project from the Interstate 94 Interchange to the Watford City Bypass (McKenzie County Road 30). The  62-mile project would expand US Highway 85 to four lanes and rehabilitate or replace the historic Long X Bridge over the Little Missouri River.
