RYDER, N.D. (AP) _ Work is under way to raise a portion of a
state highway near Ryder to protect the road from flooding.
Some of state Highway 28 in northwest North Dakota was flooded last year
and impassable for a time.
State Transportation Department spokeswoman Jamie Olson says the
$7.4 million project is being funded with federal money. The
project covers 1.6 miles.
Olson says the work is slated to be completed by the end of
October.
