Update: Roads closed in addition to no travel advisory issued in Northwest Minnesota
High winds and limited to no visibility create hazardous driving conditions

BEMIDJI, Minn. – (9:50 a.m.) The Minnesota Department of Transportation has closed highways in northwest Minnesota in addition to no travel advisories issued earlier today. The closures are due to no visibility and stalled vehicles on the roadway.

The following roads are now closed:
Highway 1- North Dakota border to Warren
Highway 2- East Grand Forks to Crookston
Highway 75- Shelly to Canadian border
Highway 175- North Dakota border to Hallock
Highway 220 – Climax to Hwy 11

The following roads are no travel advised:
Highway 9- Crookston to Borup
Highway 102- Crookston to Fertile
Highway 11- North Dakota border to Karlstad

Motorists should plan accordingly. When a road is closed it is illegal to travel in that area. Motorists can be fined up to $1,000 and/or sentenced to 90 days in jail. In addition, if travelers need to be rescued from a closed road, other expenses and penalties will apply.

No Travel Advised means that the visibility has been reduced to the point that it is very dangerous to travel. Motorists are advised not to travel in these areas until the high winds subside and conditions improve.
Motorists should prepare for changing weather and monitor road conditions at 511mn.org. Drivers should plan accordingly with an emergency supply kit and clothing for extreme cold.
MnDOT snowplow operators will do their part to make highways safe and motorists should remember to:
Stay alert for snowplows, which turn or exit frequently and often with little warning
