Temporary 35 mph speed zone at Basin Electric site to remain through mid‑March, commissioners say
Summary
Commissioners agreed to revisit a temporary 35 mph speed zone near the Basin Electric project and set a review for the second meeting in March; the company requested the extension to finish work.
The Williams County commissioners discussed and deferred removal of a temporary 35 mph speed zone near a Basin Electric work site, agreeing Jan. 21 to keep the reduced speed limit in place through mid‑March and to revisit the item at the board's second meeting in March.
County highway staff said the temporary limit was imposed during construction and that Basin Electric representatives requested keeping the 35 mph restriction until the middle of March to complete remaining work. Commissioners discussed sight lines in the area and whether the speed zone could be removed sooner; one commissioner said the sight lines provided adequate notice but expressed willingness to honor the company's request to March.
The board did not take a formal vote to end or extend the speed zone at the meeting; rather, commissioners agreed to place the item on the agenda for the board's second March meeting for final consideration. No specific enforcement changes, signage actions, or exact removal dates were recorded on the transcript.
