PIERRE — The South Dakota Department of Transportation has three major road projects starting today. The first is on the Fort Pierre side of the Missouri River in relation to construction of the new John Waldron Bridge…
Pierre Area Engineer Dean VanDeWiele says the Fort Pierre lane closures are not the start of the expected season-long head-to-head traffic over the bridge although that is quickly approaching. Work is also starting today on Highway 1806 south of Fort Pierre…
Work is also going to take place at the Blunt Junction starting today…
VanDeWiele says that project will be set up to minimize traffic stopages but will require slower speed limits. This week also marks National Work Zone Safety Awareness Week, which which we will have more on Tuesday.
