Fargo, ND – Interstate 29 has reopened between Fargo and Grand Forks as of Thursday evening, but North Dakota officials warn drivers to remain cautious due to ongoing snow drifts and slick conditions.
According to the North Dakota Department of Transportation (NDDOT), the highway section north of Grand Forks to the Canadian border remains closed. Authorities emphasized that motorists should not attempt to drive on closed roads, noting that violators could face fines or lengthy rescue delays if stranded.
The North Dakota Highway Patrol confirmed that the travel alert remains active along the Fargo–Grand Forks corridor. Snow drifts and reduced visibility may still impact travel, particularly in open rural stretches. Crews continue clearing operations as weather conditions allow.
Officials urged residents to check travel.dot.nd.gov or the NDRoads app for live updates before heading out.
“We’ll update this post as conditions change,” the agency stated in its evening release.
Motorists are encouraged to slow down, keep emergency kits in their vehicles, and allow extra time for travel as winter weather continues to affect eastern North Dakota.
