Road work: bridge construction, grading is listed at I-29 from 1 mile south to 0.25 mile north of Junction Interstate 229-Sioux Falls Exit 75, according to the South Dakota Department of Transportation's traveller-information feed.

The feed gives the route as I-29, the reference milepost as 74.854 and the affected direction as Both Directions.

The feed publishes a listed start of Aug. 28, 2026, 7:45 a.m. MDT / 8:45 a.m. CDT and no listed end — the feed publishes none for this record, which is how it represents work scheduled until further notice. Each is one instant shown in both of South Dakota's zones — Mountain first, Central second; they are the same moment. The feed names a route and not a zone, so 605Buzz does not pick one for you.

Whether this work is currently underway is not stated in this text: it depends on the time you are reading, and the department is the authority.

The feed publishes coordinates of 43.49071337, -96.79326236 for this record. Those are the department's own figures, reproduced as published; 605Buzz does not geocode.

The department's own description of the work, reproduced without changes as published in the feed:

The following road construction project is in progress: bridge construction adjacent to the roadway and grading adjacent to the roadway until further notice. Construction of New 85th St & I29 Interchange.

Current shoulder closures along I29 SB and outside lane closure on I29 NB with truck traffic exiting and entering. Additional lane closure along the I229 SB to I29 SB ramp for construction of new bridge and construction traffic.

That paragraph is the department's wording at the time this record was last read, including any dates or restrictions inside it.

The feed links dot.sd.gov/projects-studies/construction-projects/i-29-and-85th-street-interchange-in-sioux-falls/ for this project.

605Buzz has not independently verified conditions on this road. Schedules change with weather and contractor progress, and the department is the authority; check SD511 before travelling.
