Pierre, SD – On Monday, March 31, 2025, the urban reconstruction project of the US Highway 14/83 (Euclid Avenue) will begin several locations within the city of Pierre. The closures are present during the construction period 2025.
An initial closure takes place by the Sioux Avenue and the Pierre Street crossing, which extends to the north by a block. The construction work will then be continued to the north and east of the intersection Pleasant Drive and Euclid Avenue. An initial closure takes place by the Pleasant Avenue and the Euclid Avenue crossing, which extends around a block through the Capital Street. The block closures will continue to the north in 2025 to the Euclid Avenue and Wynoka Street intersection.
The work at the Sioux Avenue and Pierre Street intersection will require a two-way traffic configuration for East and West commuters by Thursday, July 3, 2025. Traffic signals at this intersection are no longer used, and the commuters have to advance through the intersection at reduced speed. Pedestrians who have to cross the Sioux Avenue at the intersection of the Pierre Street are initiated to the traffic signals in the Highland Avenue and the Central Avenue.
During this two-way traffic configuration via the Sioux Avenue Pierre Street crossing, a restriction of 12 feet is put into force. Distant vehicles are led around the dam on a signed diversion route with the SD Highway 1806, the SD Highway 204 and the SD Highway in 1804.
The traveling public is asked to be aware of longer queues, construction vehicles and workers in addition to the moving traffic via the work zone.
The progress in the first year of construction should be completed from the Sioux Avenue to the intersection of the Wynoka Street until the provisional final date of November 21, 2025. The project will be resumed in spring 2026. During the construction period 2026, work should be completed by the end of the project south of the Highway 1804 -Junction -Junction -Junction -Projekt.
The main contractor for this project of $ 26.4 million is Morris Inc. from Fort Pierre, SD. The overall project final date for this multi -year project is November 2026.
