The North Dakota Department of Transportation (NDDOT) and the North Dakota Highway
\nPatrol have re-issued a Travel Alert for Bismarck and Glen Ullin areas. Roads that
\nturned wet during the day are refreezing and becoming icy as temperatures drop
\ntonight.\u00a0 Other areas where roads turned wet during the day may also become icy as
\ntemperatures fall through the night.\u00a0 Motorists should be alert to changing road
\nconditions and use caution.<\/p>\n

Other cities and surrounding areas remaining in the Travel Alert include Jamestown,<\/strong>
\nValley City<\/strong>, Ellendale, Center, Linton, Napoleon, Underwood, McClusky, Steele,
\nBottineau, Velva, Harvey, Kenmare, Minot, and Garrison.\u00a0 A Travel Alert means
\nconditions are such that motorists can still travel in these areas, but should be
\nadvised of rapidly changing condition as a band of snow moves east through the
\nstate. Motorists are encouraged to reduce speeds and drive according to the
\nconditions.<\/p>\n

No Travel Kidder County<\/p>\n

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

The three categories are as follows:<\/p>\n

1.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 TRAVEL ALERT – Motorists can still travel but may encounter areas of
\nchallenging winter weather driving conditions on roadways. Motorists should allow
\nextra time to reach their destination and be alert to conditions that may make
\ntravel difficult, change rapidly, or cause travel delays. A TRAVEL ALERT has the
\npotential to change to a NO TRAVEL ADVISED if conditions deteriorate.<\/p>\n

2.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 NO TRAVEL ADVISED – Motorists should not travel due to hazardous conditions
\nwhich may make it unsafe to travel. Snowplows may be pulled from the roads during
\nsevere conditions. Motorists should take NO TRAVEL ADVISED seriously as those
\nmotorists who choose to travel at their own risk may become stranded and emergency
\nresponders may not be able to reach them safely. A NO TRAVEL ADVISED has the
\npotential to change to a ROAD CLOSED OR BLOCKED if conditions deteriorate.<\/p>\n

3.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 ROAD CLOSED OR BLOCKED – Motorists are not allowed to travel on a closed road
\ndue to life threatening conditions. The road may be impassible or blocked. Motorists
\nwho drive past a road closure device may be fined up to $250.<\/p>\n

Please be advised that road condition information on 511 and the travel map is
\nupdated daily from 5 a.m. until 9 p.m. CDT. The road report is based upon the
\ninformation available to the NDDOT at the time of preparation and is provided solely
\nas a public service. Conditions may vary from those reported.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
