Work on the new interchange known as a Single Point Urban interchange or SPUI is in its second and most challenging year, said Bernie Southam, project engineer of North Dakota Department of Transportation (NDDOT).

If It Ain’t Broke, Don’t Fix It Construction Coalition Asks OSHA to Keep Rules as Written This summer, OSHA proposed revising or removing existing safety standards that have a direct impact on transportation construction contractors. Three such rules affecting road and bridge construction are among several the agency is presenting in efforts to either revise obsolete measures or scale back or withdraw certain long-standing obligations for businesses.
