## Resource

Mandan’s main artery is temporarily blocked at the U.S. Highway 83 Bypass and Main Street intersection due to major centerline reconstruction — expect closures until next week. Drivers must detour via the Bismarck South Bypass as all other access points are rerouted. This is year six of a seven-year DOT overhaul, with updates available at dot.nd.gov/mandan. While essential for long-term progress, the work is causing headaches for commuters and locals adjusting to new routes — especially those with AWD or featured vehicles. Patience pays off as crews push forward. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
