JAMESTOWN – Interstate 94 from Bismarck to Jamestown is open along with other highways in the Stutsman County area following a winter storm that dropped 14 inches on the city.

The North Dakota Department of Transportation and the North Dakota Highway Patrol have also opened the following highways:

Interstate 94 from Bismarck to Jamestown.
Interstate 29 from Grand Forks to the South Dakota border.
U.S. Highway 52 from Jamestown to Harvey.
U.S. Highway 281 from Jamestown to the South Dakota border.

I-94 from Jamestown to Fargo is tentatively scheduled to open at 4 p.m Wednesday, the NDDOT said. Just because the highways are open does not necessarily mean the roadways are clear, the NDDOT said.

A no-travel advisory remains in effect for Barnes, Cass Dickey, Kidder, LaMoure, McIntosh, Stutsman and Ransom counties.

Jamestown received 14 inches of snow Tuesday into Wednesday, Feb. 28-March 1, according to measurements taken at 6 a.m. Wednesday at the North Dakota State Hospital. The storm caused multiple highways in Stutsman County to close overnight.

Our newsroom occasionally reports stories under a byline of "staff." Often, the "staff" byline is used when rewriting basic news briefs that originate from official sources, such as a city press release about a road closure, and which require little or no reporting. At times, this byline is used when a news story includes numerous authors or when the story is formed by aggregating previously reported news from various sources. If outside sources are used, it is noted within the story.
