Travel Alert Up For Eastern ND

GRAND FORKS, N.D. (AP) — The state Transportation Department is warning motorists about challenging winter driving conditions in eastern North Dakota.

Officials have issued a travel alert for the region due to slippery snow-covered roadways and blowing snow reducing visibility. Cities in the alert area include Grand Forks, Fargo and Wahpeton.

The department says conditions are such that motorists can still travel, but they should slow down and use caution.
