The North Dakota Department of Transportation will begin mowing a seven-to-10-foot clearance along shoulders of state highways starting the week of June 15.

Additional mowing could take place sooner at highway intersections and in urban areas.

Adjacent landowners who plan to mow non-interstate ditches for hay should do so before the state mows these areas. Private mowing is not allowed in medians of four-lane highways. For more information, contact the Minot District at 857-6925.
