BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) - State transportation officials say floodwaters have receded from all lanes of U.S. Highway 83 in central North Dakota.

Heavy weekend rains swamped the highway near Coleharbor. The Transportation Department says water had receded from all four lanes by Monday afternoon, and traffic on the main north-south artery in central North Dakota is moving at normal speeds.

Water remains on state Highway 256 in north central North Dakota. The highway is closed north of Antler, about half a mile south of the Canadian border. Water also is on the roadway south of Antler but traffic there is allowed with reduced speeds.
