The Minnesota Department of Transportation and the Minnesota State Patrol have reopened Interstate 94 in Fergus Falls to the North Dakota border as of 5:00am this morning. Other roadways now open include:

• I-94 between Fergus Falls and ND border

• Hwy 10 from Lake Park to Dilworth

• Hwy 210 from Fergus Falls and Breckenridge

• State and Federal highways in the following counties:

o Big Stone

o Grant

o Pope

o Stevens

o Swift

o Traverse

o Wilkin

Motorists should:

• Check road conditions at www.511mn.org or call 511; it takes time to get roads back to good driving conditions.

• Be patient and remember snowplows are working to improve road conditions for their trip.

• Stay back at least 10 car lengths behind the plow, far from the snow cloud.

• Stay alert for snowplows that turn or exit frequently and often with little warning. Plows may also travel over centerlines or partially in traffic to further improve road conditions.

• Slow down to a safe speed for current conditions. Snowplows typically move at slower speeds.
