I did see all the activity off to the side of the road for what seemed like weeks

This is right before the bridge begins - Traveling West - two lanes had dwindled to one as construction workers were working on a mysterious project off to the side of the road. I don't know how long it took, but for the longest time, I just stopped wondering what they were doing. I can't even tell you WHEN they started, but this afternoon I KIND of found out.

It's funny how I never noticed this before, in fact, I have no idea...

...how long this goofy-looking HUGE sign figure has stood tall. What is it? From the side, it resembles some clumsy-looking sign, and the weird thing is I do remember now earlier this afternoon driving directly under it. Here is what ReNae Lynn's husband captured:

This landed on the Bismarck People Reporting News Group Facebook Page - asking all of us residents what WE think it could be:

"It’s a huge electric sign and I duck every time I drive under it"     ( I agree )

"A very expensive sign saying you are about to cross over The Missouri River. lol. I’ve been waiting to see how stupid this money spent"

"It’s an electronic message board. It can be used for a variety of things. Road closures, missing persons or anything that their may be a need"

Finally, all I can say is - that if this IS a sign, it will light up soon and tell us all what exactly it is for!
