Drilling begins for the new Highway 53

We might suggest that having a job in a cubicle in the winter in Minnesota isn't the worst thing in the world, but drilling in the Rouchleau Pit, where a bridge for the newHighway 53 is going to be built, might be high on the list.

It was 9 degrees this morning in Virginia, Minn.

Actual construction of the bridge across the water-filled and abandoned pit could begin next fall.
