CHANGING DEMANDS ON NORTH DAKOTA'S ROAD AND BRIDGE NETWORK

Management and utilization of North Dakota's transportation network is extremely dynamic in nature. This has always been the case, but particularly so in the past 5 to 10 years. Several factors have accelerated the changes in demands on the transportation system and its management. These factors, which are examined in this report, include the following: agricultural marketing patterns; shifting demographics; expanded use of tourist and recreational facilities; and the trend toward increased maximum truck weights.
