Well, its the time of year I guess, where we'll be b8tching about the DOT projects.....
the biggie in Williston is.........

We got drift about a month ago, they'll be shutting down Hwy 2 west from the bridge heading west from 11th st down by Wild Wings all the way to the intersection (light) where OK Tire is located.
Our shop is on the frontage road, called 2nd street, down by Ok tire, so we got front seats to the show this summer.

They will redirect traffic at 11th St, going west all the way till you get to 139th Ave NW then turn towards Hwy 2 til you get to the light, then you go west back on Hwy 2. Both East and west lanes will be shut down to make it clear.

The big rigs are to use the truck route west and north of williston to make it to the East side of town to 1804, I can already hear some unsuspecting drivers swearing already, so get ready for the shit show peeps all begins May 1st is what I'm hearing

And...for those of you that know Williston..there's one more thing...if you think you'll use Front street to navigate west or east...surprise surprise...they'll have that intersection by Ok Tire/Mccody concrete closed too, as they redoing that too, so forget that....lol yep summer is in the air....

road construction sux more than about anything, but driving on shitty roads is worse... lets try to take it in stride and in the end we'll a beautiful new road...

fwiw, anyone who runs 1804 a lot will make their time back the first year of having passing lanes through the hills...

I'll be in Williston m-f for the next 3 months or so. Regrading a road north about 30 minutes.
Let me know if anyone wants to grab a beer. Usually back in hotel around 7:30.

V, give a pm when you're in town. I'm not opposed to beer. 7:30 is usually past my bedtime but I could make an exception.
