I-94 westbound from Jamestown to Bismarck closed

BISMARCK, N.D. – The North Dakota Department of Transportation (NDDOT) and North Dakota Highway Patrol have closed Interstate 94 westbound from Jamestown to Bismarck due to extreme winter weather, blowing snow, and snow accumulation. A No Travel Advisory remains in place and motorists are encouraged to stay in place and only travel if absolutely necessary.  

Parking for large commercial vehicles in Jamestown and Bismarck is near capacity so commercial vehicle drivers are encouraged to plan accordingly. 

Motorists should not use their GPS to access secondary roads to avoid road closures. Motorists should be warned that secondary roads could become blocked or impassable due to the significant snowfall and high winds creating severe snow drifts on the highways. Snow drifts are more prevalent at structures and sheltered areas. Vehicles may become stranded and emergency responders may not be able to reach you safely.
