Highway Chaos Hits Cavalier County

A major highway upgrade on ND Highway 1 between Nekoma and Langdon is turning into a logistical nightmare for farmers and truckers. With asphalt removal underway and a new surface still in development, sections of the road have become nearly impassable — semi-trucks get stuck, heavy equipment must detour onto fragile gravel roads, and speed limits have dropped to 25 mph. Local businesses are suffering too, with one owner recounting backing up two miles to let a tractor pass. Officials from the North Dakota DOT visited the site on June 8th to oversee progress, while contractor Knife River Materials works to stabilize the road with gravel patches. Completion is still targeted for fall, but no update has been received from the contractor yet. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
