Blizzard Conditions Force Interstate 90 Closures in South Dakota

The South Dakota Department of Transportation has closed Interstate 90 from the Wyoming border to Rapid City Exit 55.  Another closure is in effect from I-90 Exit 67 near Ellsworth Air Force Base, to U-S Highway 83 near Vivian.  These closures are in both directions.  Another I-90 closure from Vivian to Chamberlain is imminent.  The western part of the state has been hammered by blizzard conditions most of the day, and a Blizzard Warning remains in effect for tonight into Monday.  Several No Travel Advisories have been posted for South Dakota as well.  Anyone finding it necessary to travel tonight is urged to call the state's 5-1-1 Road Condition Report--a free call from any phone in South Dakota.  A map with road closures, highway web cams and more can be found at http://www.safetravelusa.com/sd
