MEDINA, N.D. (KFGO) — The North Dakota Department of Transportation closed I-94 between Jamestown and Steele because crews cannot safely reach stranded motorists.

The North Dakota Highway Patrol says wreckers are unable to get to stuck vehicles. Troopers are working to make contact with stranded drivers, but conditions are slowing them.

The Highway Patrol reminds drivers it is illegal to travel on closed roads. Travel is strongly discouraged in No Travel Advisory areas
