Navigating rural township roads with heavy equipment may require more patience this spring with potential flooding issues as the snowpack melts. North Dakota Township Officers Association Executive Secretary Larry Syverson says to keep in mind the importance of watching weight restrictions. With the additional moisture from the above average snowpack, roads may become impassable much more easily. “When roads are barricaded, it’s there because we see a failure that’s either happened or it’s about to happen. We don’t want anyone getting in there and losing their lives just trying to get though on some road,” said Syverson. Stealing, moving, or ignoring road closures puts lives at risk. Syverson says when rural roads are closed, there is good reason. Safety is the main concern.
