The final plans of the four-laning of Highway 85 from Watford City to the Long X Bridge is almost complete. The project is expected to be bid in late 2022 or early 2023, and construction expected to start in 2023.
Work is in the design phase for the highway from the Long X Bridge to the intersection of Highway 85 with Highway 200. Highway 85 continues to see more oversize/overweight traffic than many of the 4 lane roads in North Dakota as documented with the accompanying image.
