Roads, Bridges and 80 MPH-Oh, My!

A total of $570 million has been approved for county, municipal and township roads and bridges in North Dakota. The legislative session also included a bump in the speed limit for interstate driving to 80 miles per hour. The bill was rejected in the House Thursday morning, but was brought up for a new vote that evening. It eventually passed 54-36 in the House and 27-20 in the Senate.
