Latest ND state highway closures announced
BISMARCK, N.D. – The North Dakota Department of Transportation (NDDOT) and North Dakota Highway Patrol closed portions of multiple highways across the state until further notice.
- Interstate 94 from Dickinson to Fargo
- Interstate 29 from Fargo to the South Dakota border
- U.S. Highway 52 from Harvey to Jamestown
- U.S. Highway 281 from Jamestown to the South Dakota border
- North Dakota Highway 13 from Interstate 29 to Wahpeton
- North Dakota Highway 46 from Streeter to Interstate 29
These closures are due to blowing and accumulating snow, areas of near-zero visibility and icy conditions.
Conditions are not expected to improve overnight. Motorists are encouraged to stay in place and only travel if absolutely necessary.
Motorists are not allowed to travel on a closed road due to life threatening conditions. Motorists should not use GPS to access secondary roads to avoid road closures. Secondary roads could become blocked or impassable due to the significant snowfall and high winds creating severe snow drifts on the highways.
Snow drifts are more prevalent at structures and sheltered areas. Vehicles may become stranded and emergency responders may not be able to reach you safely.
Please be advised that road condition information on 511 and the travel map is updated daily from 5 a.m. until 10 p.m. CDT. The road report is based upon the information available to the NDDOT at the time of preparation and is provided solely as a public service. Conditions may vary from those reported.
