In October
2006, Oftedal began construction on four
earthen flood control structures designed to
retain or divert storm water from expanding

Reconstruction of a five mile section of
I-25 in Converse and Natrona counties
required widening both the north and south
bound lanes, filling median ditches and
recontouring shoulders. Oftedal placed over
900,000 CY of material using scrapers, haul
trucks, and belly dumps. |
