(Bismarck, ND) — Representative Kelly Armstrong says North Dakota could get a new interstate. The reconstruction project would change the Theodore Roosevelt Expressway in the western part of the state into part of I-27, which would run all the way from the Canadian border down to the US-Mexico border. Proponents of the project say it would allow for faster shipping, which would be good for North Dakota’s economy. While North Dakota has secured 55-million dollars in federal funding for the project, it still needs approval from the U.S. Department of Transportation.
