BISMARCK, ND (KXNET) — U.S. Highway 83 in North Dakota has been ranked the state's most feared road to drive in winter. That's based on a nationwide survey of 3,000 drivers. Highway 83 runs north and south through the state, border to border, and connects Minot, Max, Coleharbor, Underwood, Washburn, Bismarck, Sterling, Linton and Strasburg, among other communities. While Highway 83 is the most-feared road in winter, it is not the only one that worries motorists in North Dakota. Four other key routes across the state made the nationwide list. Here's the breakdown for all five roads and their national ranking: #80 U.S. Highway 83 Running north-south through the state, US-83 experiences severe winter weather, with icy roads and reduced visibility contributing to its reputation as a dangerous route during the colder months. #81 U.S. Highway 2 Extending from the Montana border to Minnesota, US-2 is a critical east-west route. Its exposure to open plains makes it susceptible to strong winds and drifting snow, creating hazardous driving conditions during winter storms.  #110 Interstate 29 Running along the eastern edge of the state, I-29 is particularly treacherous during winter months. The highway's high-speed limits, coupled with icy conditions, often lead to accidents and occasional closures.  #137 U.S. Highway 85 Stretching along the western side of North Dakota, US-85 is a major route for commercial trucks, especially those in the oil industry. Winter weather can exacerbate the dangers on this highway, leading to increased accident rates.  #158 Interstate 94 Spanning east-west across North Dakota, I-94 is frequently exposed to severe winter conditions, including blizzards and whiteouts. The combination of high-speed limits and slippery roads contributes to numerous accidents annually.  Nationwide, according to the survey, the five most-feared roads to drive in winter are: #1 Alaska Highway (Alaska Route 2) Also known as the Alcan Highway, this route in the top spot stretches from Dawson Creek in British Columbia through the Yukon to Delta Junction in Alaska. While generally well-maintained, winter brings challenges like snow, ice, and reduced daylight. Travelers should be prepared for rapidly changing conditions and limited services in remote areas.  #2 Interstate 90 (I-90), New York Running east-west across the state, I-90 is particularly dangerous in Western New York. Lake-effect snow from Lake Erie can lead to sudden and heavy snowfall, creating treacherous driving conditions and frequent road closures during winter months.  #3 Seward Highway (Alaska Route 9) Linking Anchorage to Seward, this highway is known for its scenic beauty but also for hazardous driving conditions during winter. The combination of narrow lanes and frequent wildlife crossings, along with icy surfaces, increase the risk of accidents.   #4 Pennsylvania Route 6 (U.S. Route 6) Known for its scenic views, the Pennsylvania stretch of U.S. Route 6 winds through the northern part of the state, including the Pocono Mountains. During winter, this route can become treacherous due to snow-covered roads and reduced visibility.  #5 James Dalton Highway (Alaska Route 11) Spanning approximately 414 miles from north of Fairbanks to Deadhorse near the Arctic Ocean, the Dalton Highway is notorious for its isolation, steep grades, and severe weather conditions. In winter, the combination of ice, snow, and limited services makes it extremely treacherous. This highway has been featured on television shows like "Ice Road Truckers" and the BBC's "World's Most Dangerous Roads," highlighting its perilous nature.
