Reconstruction of I-29 to begin

The South Dakota Department of Transportation announced that a project to reconstruct Interstate 29 from just north of Sisseton to the North Dakota border began in the northbound lanes on Monday, April 13, with start date depending on weather.

Traffiic has been placed in a two-way configuration in the southbound lanes with a reduced speed limit to 65 mph and a 13-foot width restriction.

Work on the project includes overlaying the existing pavement and improving bridge decks and guardrails.

The prime contractor on this $17 million project is Reede Construction of Aberdeen, SD and is scheduled to be complete by November 2020.
