The NDDOT along with the ND Highway Patrol have lifted a No Travel Advisory for the Grand Forks area.

A Travel Alert remains in effect for northeastern and portions of southeastern North Dakota due to snow covered and icy roads and reduced visibility. Cities included in the Travel Alert are Grand Forks, Drayton, Grafton, Pembina, Jamestown, Valley City,
Ellendale, and surrounding areas.

 

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 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.
