The North Dakota Department of Transportation has issued a Travel Alert for the southwest region of North Dakota due to challenging winter driving conditions including blowing snow, reduced visibility, and icy road conditions. The Travel Alert includes the towns of Dickinson, Bowman, New England, Hettinger, Mott and the surrounding areas.
Travel alerts are issued to alert motorists that areas of challenging winter weather driving conditions may be encountered on roadways. Conditions are such that motorists can still travel; however, they should be aware that rapidly changing conditions may result in travel delays due to reduced speeds and visibility.
NDDOT encourages all travelers to monitor road conditions, reduce traffic speeds 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.511.nd.gov for road and weather conditions.
