Lane Closures Coming to Interstate 29 in Sioux Falls
Over the past few weeks, drivers on Interstate 229 in Sioux Falls have been dealing with traffic headaches associated with work on the roadway's shoulder that has caused more than one accident.
Now drivers on Interstate 29 are about to feel the same pain.
The South Dakota Department of Transportation has announced that on Tuesday (July 30), work will begin on shoulder resurfacing on I-29 between the Interstate 90 interchange (Exit 84) and 259th Street, one mile to the north.
During the project, the inside and outside shoulders in both the northbound and southbound lanes will be resurfaced. Additional work on the project includes cold milling asphalt concrete, embankment surfacing, and replacement of highway signage.
Traffic will be reduced to a single lane while operations are being conducted on the shoulders and guardrail. Traffic control measures will be in place to help guide motorists through the work zone.
The $7.8 million project is expected to be completed by November 1.
