Dynamic link. Today, the satellite view shows clearly work on the bridge. This is about 30 miles north of Williston, just on the south side of ND state highway 50.

In and of itself, this note may not mean a lot, but taken in conjunction with the EIA analysis just posted, this speaks volumes. The state of North Dakota has taken advantage of the relative lull in oil activity in the Bakken to continue improving the infrastructure in western North Dakota. I'm impressed.

From NDDOT (this link will break once things "are back to normal"):
Beginning Wednesday, August 3, 2016, northbound and southbound traffic on US 85 north of Williston will be moved onto new temporary roadways for Little Muddy Creek bridge construction work.
Traffic has been moved to temporary roadways at two locations between US 2 and ND 50 on US 85. Construction is taking place on US 85 approximately 7 miles north of US 2 near mile marker 208 and approximately 1 mile south of ND 50 near mile marker 216, while crews construct new bridges and demolish the current bridges over Little Muddy Creek.
