North Weber Avenue Closure In Sioux Falls Lasts Until October

Drivers in downtown Sioux Falls will soon be dealing with a lengthy street closure.

Starting Monday (August 17th), North Weber Avenue will be closed at Third Street, just south of the east entrance to Falls Park, to allow crews to make railroad crossing improvements as part of the Downtown Whistle Reduction Project.

Third Street will also be closed just east of Weber Avenue as part of this work. Traffic should utilize Cliff Avenue as an alternate route.

Work will include upgrades to railroad warning systems, installation of crossing gates and signal equipment, roadway modifications, and median improvements designed to meet federal quiet zone safety requirements.

The road is scheduled to reopen in mid-to-late October.

LOOK: See how much gasoline cost the year you started driving

To find out more about how has the price of gas changed throughout the years, Stacker ran the numbers on the cost of a gallon of gasoline for each of the last 84 years. Using data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics (released in April 2020), we analyzed the average price for a gallon of unleaded regular gasoline from 1976 to 2020 along with the Consumer Price Index (CPI) for unleaded regular gasoline from 1937 to 1976, including the absolute and inflation-adjusted prices for each year.
