There is a lot of prep work to be done before work on the actual "diamond" phase can begin. Part of that prep work is widening 41st Street west of the interchange from Meadow Ave to Marion Road to three lanes.

While all this progress is great, we still have a long way to go before Sioux Falls gets its first diverging diamond interchange. The next phase beginning in 2023 will continue the reconstruction of 41st Street moving east from Meadow Avenue to Shirley Avenue. This includes the construction of the diverging diamond interstate bridge itself. The entire project is expected to be completed in June 2024.
