"By all of our assessments and calculations we think it (the repairs) will work, but Mother Nature has more of a say in it than we do." "You just don't know what it will do, or how long this climate pattern will last," Gangl said. Gangl said rain, weather and road conditions will be key in meeting repair goals. "We are now working on a temporary fix - the bypasses - to allow traffic, and will follow up with permanent repair."
"The DOT sent out a team with national and state experience in landslides to do an on-site evaluation of the sections of roads closed due to damage," DOT Dickinson District Engineer Larry Gangl said.
