I 90 from Sioux Falls to the Minnesota state line, as well as I 29 to North Dakota, is also closed.

No travel advisories are in place for many secondary highways across the state. This is due to high winds, blowing snow, and low visibility. DOT says that drivers should not try to use secondary roads to avoid interstate closures.
