The Minnesota Department of Transportation has lifted the no travel advisory in northwest Minnesota. It includes the following highways:
- Highway 9- between Highway 2 and Barnesville
- Highway 32- between Highway 2 and Tansem
- Highway 59- between Erskine and Fergus Falls
- Highway 75- between Highway 2 and Ortonville
- Highway 102- between Crookston and Fertile
- Highway 113- between Syre and Highway 71
- Highway 200- between Highway 75 and Roy Lake
Visibility has improved in these areas, however, roads are completely snow and ice covered so motorists are advised to reduce speeds and drive according to conditions.
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.
