Texas Company Back At Work On Pipeline

CANNON BALL, N.D. (AP) — The company building the disputed Dakota Access oil pipeline has started construction on the final stretch of the $3.8 billion project.

Dallas-based Energy Transfer Partners began work late Wednesday after getting final permission from the Army to proceed with a crossing of the Missouri River in southern North Dakota.

Company spokeswoman Vicki Granado says work commenced immediately after the company received permission.
