SIOUX FALLS, S.D. - Crews have begun shoulder resurfacing work on Interstate 29 at exit 84 for approximately one-half mile in Sioux Falls.

Additional work on the project includes cold milling asphalt concrete, embankment surfacing, and replacement of highway signage.

Interstate traffic will be reduced to a single lane while operations are being conducted on the shoulders and guardrail. Traffic control measures will be in place to help guide motorists through the work zone. Motorists are reminded to use caution and reduce their speed while workers and equipment are present.

The prime contractor on the $7.8 million project is Bituminous Paving, Inc. of Ortonville, MN. The overall project completion date is Friday, June 6, 2025.
