The North Dakota Department of Transportation (NDDOT) and the North Dakota Highway
Patrol have re-issued a Travel Alert for Bismarck and Glen Ullin areas. Roads that
turned wet during the day are refreezing and becoming icy as temperatures drop
tonight.  Other areas where roads turned wet during the day may also become icy as
temperatures fall through the night.  Motorists should be alert to changing road
conditions and use caution.

Other cities and surrounding areas remaining in the Travel Alert include Jamestown,
Valley City, Ellendale, Center, Linton, Napoleon, Underwood, McClusky, Steele,
Bottineau, Velva, Harvey, Kenmare, Minot, and Garrison.  A Travel Alert means
conditions are such that motorists can still travel in these areas, but should be
advised of rapidly changing condition as a band of snow moves east through the
state. Motorists are encouraged to reduce speeds and drive according to the
conditions.

No Travel Kidder County

All travelers are encouraged to monitor road conditions as weather conditions occur
and use caution while traveling. For road information, call 511 from any type of
phone or go to the website: www.dot.nd.gov<http://www.dot.nd.gov>. NDDOT releases
information to inform the public about travel conditions throughout the state.

The three categories are as follows:

1.    TRAVEL ALERT – Motorists can still travel but may encounter areas of
challenging winter weather driving conditions on roadways. Motorists should allow
extra time to reach their destination and be alert to conditions that may make
travel difficult, change rapidly, or cause travel delays. A TRAVEL ALERT has the
potential to change to a NO TRAVEL ADVISED if conditions deteriorate.

2.    NO TRAVEL ADVISED – Motorists should not travel due to hazardous conditions
which may make it unsafe to travel. Snowplows may be pulled from the roads during
severe conditions. Motorists should take NO TRAVEL ADVISED seriously as those
motorists who choose to travel at their own risk may become stranded and emergency
responders may not be able to reach them safely. A NO TRAVEL ADVISED has the
potential to change to a ROAD CLOSED OR BLOCKED if conditions deteriorate.

3.    ROAD CLOSED OR BLOCKED – Motorists are not allowed to travel on a closed road
due to life threatening conditions. The road may be impassible or blocked. Motorists
who drive past a road closure device may be fined up to $250.

Please be advised that road condition information on 511 and the travel map is
updated daily from 5 a.m. until 9 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.
