N.D.- At long last, the road connecting Oakes directly with US Highway 281 has been open to traffic, after about a mile and a half of the roadway had to be raised due to excessive high water.

The stretch of the road is not paved, and is not scheduled to be paved before the winter hits.

A farmsted still very much underwater as of Thursday

The speed limit posted through the area is 25 miles per hour, the rest of the highway is 55 mph.

Rocks set up on each side of the road, acting as a barrier from the massive amount of water.
