Utility work to disrupt traffic on Sioux Avenue in Pierre starting next week

Beginning on Tuesday (May 30, 2023), utility work on Sioux Avenue (US Highway 14B) in Pierre will require a two-way traffic configuration in the westbound lanes from Highland Avenue to west of Pawnee Avenue.

Motorists approaching the work zone should be alert to potential long, single-file queues of traffic. Please be prepared to slow as needed when driving adjacent to the work zone. Overall, commuters can expect a minimal delay during the utility project. Sixteen foot lanes will be maintained throughout this short-term lane closure.

Pending cooperative weather, HEGG Construction Company anticipates the utility work will be completed and the lane closure removed within three weeks.
