DICKINSON, N.D. (AP) — State Transportation Director Francis Ziegler says major overhauls are planned for U.S. Highways 12 and 85 in southwestern North Dakota.

The highways are narrow two-lane roads. Theodore Roosevelt Expressway Association director Cal Klewin says they were not designed for the kind and amount of traffic brought by the current oil patch boom.

Ziegler says a variety of construction projects will be undertaken along the two highways between this year and 2014.

He says the projects total about $108 million.
