SDOT is advising motorists to be aware that permanent signage installations along I-29 will continue over the coming weeks and may require periodic Interstate single-lane closures. A reduced speed limit of 65 miles per hour will remain in effect until all permanent signs are installed.

According to SDOT, Brookings has been considering a new I-29 interchange at 20th Street for nearly 20 years. The project became a reality after a 2019 Department of Transportation grant was received.

The $15.3 million dollar project officially began in the winter of 2022.
