BERESFORD, S.D. - On Tuesday, April 7, 2026, S.D. Highway 46 from the east edge of the City of Beresford to 297^thStreet (Hudson Curve) is scheduled to close to complete the surfacing portion of the project. During the closure, motorists will be directed to the signed detour route on Interstate 29, Lincoln County Road 152, and Lincoln County Road 143.

Surfacing work from 297^thStreet (Hudson Curve) to the Iowa state line is also planned to start in April. Traffic will be maintained using a half-width construction approach, with traffic maintained on one-half of the roadway while work is completed on the other half of the roadway.

Access to residences and properties adjacent to the project will be maintained for local traffic. The contractor will be discussing individual access with each landowner located on or near the project.
