CHAMBERLAIN, S.D. – The South Dakota Department of Transportation says work will begin on the regrade of S.D. Highway 50 in Chamberlain from Paul Gust Road to Sorenson Drive, shoulder widening from Sorenson Drive to Interstate 90, and asphalt resurfacing on S.D. Highway 50 from North Main Street to King Street. Work is scheduled to begin on the northbound/westbound lanes from Paul Gust Road to Sorenson Drive Tuesday, July 6, 2021.

The $11 million project consists of grading, asphalt surfacing, lighting, landslide area repair, and pipe repair. A center turn lane will be constructed from Sorenson Drive to I-90 to improve safety.
