FLANDREAU, S.D. – Beginning Monday, July 15, 2024, work is scheduled to begin on a bridge structure located north of Flandreau on S.D. Highway 13. The bridge structure is located at mile marker 108 on Highway 13.

A lane closure will be in place in the northbound and southbound lane intermittently. Traffic signals will be installed on each end of the structure allowing for stop and go one-way traffic. The lane closure will remain in place through the construction season to allow for abutment repairs, new approach slabs, and bridge deck overlay. Motorists should expect delays through the work area and are asked to please stay alert for workers, equipment, and sudden slowing of traffic. 

Work is anticipated to be complete by Friday, Sept. 27, 2024. The prime contractor for this $925,000 project is Journey Group Companies of Sioux Falls, SD.
