Canada America Expressway

A Canadian/American expressway is being considered.

From the Rapid City Journal:

Williston and Dickinson, N.D., have kicked in $160,000 over the next four years to promote the Theodore Roosevelt Expressway under a new organization incorporated this spring.

T.C. Rolfstad, startup development director for the Theodore Roosevelt at Williston, said the program is an update from the "Can-Am" Highway with a slightly different route into Canada.

He said he will be in South Dakota in the first two weeks of August to speak with people in Rapid City, Sturgis, Spearfish and Belle Fourche to promote the corridor.

The project could get some discussion at the South Dakota Department of Transportation public meeting Thursday night in Rapid City on its five-year highway plan.


This clip from the dead tree edition of the Journal shows the route going up to Regina, Canada. My wife and I have taken getaway trips there a couple of times over the last 6 years, and it's a really great city. We hope to go back again, and perhaps take the kids one of these times, so having an expressway to get there, rather than the sometimes-dinky highways through North Dakota, would be nice.

Only I don't relish the time and expense of now having to get passports for the whole family (thanks, President Bush: the southern border is still a gusher of illegals, but my 4 year old needs a passport for Canada).
