Road work: miscellaneous construction is listed at SD-50 from 10.25 miles east to 4.25 miles east of Junction US 81 South-Yankton, according to the South Dakota Department of Transportation's traveller-information feed.

The feed gives the route as SD-50, the reference milepost as 175.567 and the affected direction as Westbound.

The feed publishes a listed start of Aug. 25, 2026, 6:13 a.m. MDT / 7:13 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 42.881154, -97.261377 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: miscellaneous construction adjacent to the roadway westbound until further notice. Asphalt Surface Treatment (Chip Seal) has been placed on the shoulders adjacent to the concrete on this route. A fog seal coat of oil has also been sprayed on the new rock to hold it in place.

The work remaining is the placement of the new pavement markings.

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-info 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.

How this desk works

Where this comes from

This record comes from the South Dakota Department of Transportation's public traveller-information feed, served through its vendor's content network. Neither host publishes a robots.txt or terms-of-use page, so no access directive exists either way; 605Buzz reproduces the department's own fields with attribution and does not claim a licence nobody granted.

How the times are shown

The feed publishes start and end as numeric timestamps, so each is shown as a clock reading in both of South Dakota's zones.

How the status is decided

Whether work is currently underway is not written into the article text, deliberately: it depends on when you are reading. 605Buzz computes it from the listed dates each time the page loads rather than storing an answer that would go out of date without anyone noticing. The status at the top of the page is that computation, not a claim the department made.

605Buzz does not rewrite the department's description, and a detail inside it can be superseded without the surrounding fields changing.

Around this record

605Buzz has published 4 road records from the South Dakota Department of Transportation within about 16 miles of this location with a listed start on or before this date. SDDOT published no end date for all of them, which is how the department represents work scheduled until further notice — 605Buzz cannot compute whether those are current, and does not guess. SD511 is the department's own live conditions service.

This section is assembled from other records 605Buzz has published and from arithmetic on the date above and on the coordinate this record's source published. It is not part of the filed record, and no language model wrote it.
