In this June 12, 2014 aerial photo, heavy machinery plows through farmland for the construction of the U.S. Route 85 bypass around Watford City, N.D. The highway between the towns of Williston and Watford City was once a two-lane road across the lonely prairie. Now the road is being transformed into a four-lane highway with bypasses cutting around towns. (AP Photo/Charles Rex Arbogast)
