Parshall-New Town area roadwork nearing completion
PARSHALL-NEW TOWN A road construction project between Parshall and New Town still has a few weeks before it will be finished.
The project on N.D. Highway 23 that began early in the summer is being done to add passing and turning lanes.
Jamie Olson, a spokeswoman for the North Dakota Department of Transportation in Bismarck, said the project is scheduled to be done the end of October or beginning of November, depending on the weather.
The construction area covers about 16 miles from near the N.D. Highway 23 and N.D. Highway 37 intersection to the east side of New Town.
Earlier this year, the Transportation Department awarded contracts for the work to two companies, Acme Concrete paving of Spokane, Wash., and Knife River Corp. of Sauk Rapids, Minn.
