Work is scheduled to begin Wednesday (July 10, 2024) on a $2.1 million asphalt milling and resurfacing project on S.D. Highway 34 at Pierre.
The South Dakota Department of Transportation says work will start at the base of the U.S. Highway 14/83 Truck Route– or Garfield Avenue– in Pierre and go east for approximately two miles, to the Farm Island Recreation Area turnoff. The bike path adjacent to Highway 34 will also receive one and one-half inches of asphalt concrete resurfacing.
During the project, traffic will be reduced to a single lane through the work zone with the use of flaggers and pilot car to guide motorists when needed. People can expect short delays during daytime work hours.
The bike path between Pierre and Farm Island Recreation Area will be closed while the resurfacing work is being conducted.
All operations are anticipated to be complete in August 2024.
