Off-Ramp Closure Scheduled for I-90 in South Dakota

Navigating the interstates in South Dakota is always tricky this time of the year as ongoing construction projects create new challenges to drivers seemingly every week.

The latest will be along I-90 in Brandon.

Beginning Monday (May 5), the westbound off-ramp at the Brandon exit (406) will be closed as part of the Diverging Diamond Interchange (DDI) construction project.

Motorists traveling westbound on I-90 to Brandon should use Exit 410 and follow the detour south to County Road 138 and then west into Brandon.

The closure and detour will be in place until late June.

The second phase of $41.3 million project includes completing the remaining on- and off-ramps, the eastbound lanes of I-90, the Exit Bridge, and the replacement of the eastbound I-90 bridge over the BNSF railroad.

The overall project is expected to be completed by June 2026.

The Most Road Rage Inducing Spots in Sioux Falls

More than anything, I'm holding out for Star Trek transporter technology. I'm not necessarily not excited about driverless cars. I for sure would be happy to not have to drive anymore. But, I don't want to do that until EVERYONE ELSE does it too.

Driving is not worth it. Even in Sioux Falls, there are plenty of opportunities to send your blood pressure into the red when wading through traffic.

Road Rage and driving in Sioux Falls go hand in hand, so much so that when we asked locals "Where do you get the worst road rage in Sioux Falls?" people had very strong opinions:

From Blockbusters to Hidden Gems: 35 Movies That Take Place in South Dakota

When it comes to South Dakota and Hollywood, we've seen our fair share of films that have used our state as the backdrop for a number of productions over the years. They may not have always filmed here, but movie folk love to set stories here.

We're all familiar with the blockbusters like 1990's Dances With Wolves, 1959's North By Northwest, and more recently, 2007's National Treasure: Book of Secrets. But our state's life on the big screen goes back nearly 100 years.

According to IMDb, it all started with Courtin' Wildcats, a 1929 film which, like so many of the 29 films on this list, is a Western set in the time before South Dakota became a state in 1889.
