Mandan, ND – The North Dakota Highway Patrol is warning motorists to drive cautiously Tuesday morning as icy conditions persist along Interstate 94 near Mandan.
According to the agency, troopers have reported multiple vehicles with poor tire traction or low tread near mile marker 147, just west of Mandan. Officials said the posted speed limit applies only to sunny, ideal weather — not slick or snowy roads like those seen today.
Drivers are being urged to slow down, increase following distance, and ensure their vehicles are winter-ready. That includes checking tire tread, clearing windows, maintaining a full tank of fuel, and allowing extra travel time.
The Highway Patrol’s reminder comes as winter weather continues to impact travel across central North Dakota, where blowing snow and reduced visibility have made driving conditions hazardous in spots.
Motorists can monitor current road conditions through the North Dakota Department of Transportation’s travel information map at travel.dot.nd.gov.
