RFP Issued for Hwy 85 4-Laning

On June 23, 2014, the ND Dept. of Transportation (NDDOT) issued a Request for Proposal (RFP) to perform preliminary engineering services related to expanding the roadway of US Highway 85 from Watford City, ND south to Interstate 94.

US Hwy 85 has been experiencing an increase in traffic as a result of the increase in oil related activities in western North Dakota. The NDDOT is proceeding with preliminary engineering and environmental studies to develop alternatives to 4-lane the roadway and provide structures to meet the needs of the traveling public.
