HURON, S.D. –  On Monday, July 8, 2024, the closure currently in place on S.D. Highway 37 (Dakota Avenue) through Huron will be extended through the north side of the 5^th Street intersection. The closure will be in place on Highway 37, both northbound and southbound, from Market Street south to 5^th Street. Two separate marked detours for truck traffic and vehicle traffic will be in place to guide motorists around the work zone. Highway 37 will remain open to traffic south of 3^rd Street while the closure is in place.

This closure is part of a larger project on Highway 37 that consists of grading, paving, storm sewer, curb and gutter, traffic signals, and lighting through the city of Huron from 9^th Street South to 3^rd Street North. The city of Huron’s utility and streetscape project will run in conjunction with the state project.

The primary contractor on this $19 million project is BX Civil & Construction, Inc. of Dell Rapids, SD. The interim project completion date for 5^th Street to Market Street is November 2024, with an overall project completion date of August 2025.
