FARGO — At 9 a.m. Wednesday, Dec. 14, North Dakota transportation officials reopened Interstate 94 between Fargo and Dickinson, after the highway had been closed overnight due to winter weather.

"Roads are ice-covered and motorists should use extreme caution," transportation officials said in a statement Wednesday morning. "Travel alerts are still in effect."

On Tuesday evening, heavy, blowing and drifting snow with areas of zero visibility prompted the North Dakota Department of Transportation and the North Dakota Highway Patrol to close I-94 from Fargo to Dickinson.

Our newsroom occasionally reports stories under a byline of "staff." Often, the "staff" byline is used when rewriting basic news briefs that originate from official sources, such as a city press release about a road closure, and which require little or no reporting. At times, this byline is used when a news story includes numerous authors or when the story is formed by aggregating previously reported news from various sources. If outside sources are used, it is noted within the story.
