Update: As of 2:25pm, North Dakota Highway Patrol says the eastbound lanes are now back open
FARGO, N.D. – A downed powerline on the Interstate 94 bridge over the Red River has lead to traffic headaches.
A Flag Family employee called the newsroom around 1:45 PM Friday telling us the Highway Patrol is directing vehicles heading east to get off the freeway at the University Drive exit.
A listener also reported seeing people standing outside their vehicles as traffic at one point was at standstill.
Construction on the bridge led to one lane of the interstate being shut down in both directions before this all happened.
