Traffic Delays Coming for Latest I-90 Diverging Diamond Project

The area's latest Diverging Diamond Interchange project is about to see a big change to traffic flow that will likely result in delays for the next few days.

Tuesday (July 16), the South Dakota Department of Transportation will begin use of a temporary signal for one-way traffic across the Exit Bridge on Highway 11 as it passes over Interstate 90 in Brandon.

Traffic at the bridge ends will be signaled to one lane. This one-way traffic diversion will be maintained until Friday (July 19).

The work is all part of a $41.3 million project that will reconstruct exit 406 (Brandon) with added lighting, signals, and mainline Interstate work.

This project also includes three structure replacements and will feature a Diverging Diamond Interchange.

Westbound I-90 lanes (along with the railroad structure on I-90) will be reconstructed in 2024 and the eastbound lanes in 2025.

The interchange and the new structure over I-90 will be reconstructed between the 2024 and 2025 construction seasons.

Seven Mind-Blowing Wonders' of South Dakota

I think most of us have at least heard of the "Seven Wonders of the Modern World." We might not be able to rattle them off as easily as McDonald's value menu items, but chances are you've heard of at least some of them, right?

There's the Great Wall of China. Chichén Itzá, a Mayan City on the Yucatan Peninsula in Mexico. The ancient city of Petra, in Jordan. Machu Picchu in Peru. Christ the Redeemer Statue in Rio de Janeiro. The Colosseum in Rome, and finally, the Taj Mahal in Agra, India.

Every state in the nation is known for having a series of natural wonders and signature landmarks. So, I thought I would come up with my own list of the "Seven Wonders of South Dakota."

The following is what I consider to be the signature landmarks, monuments, and natural wonders that are synonymous with the great state of South Dakota. I tried to give both sides of the state a little love while comprising this list.
