Construction work is scheduled to begin today (April 17, 2023) on SD Highway 1806 approximately 34 miles southeast of Fort Pierre (from mile markers 149 to 138). The initial project consists of erosion repair, pipe work, spot grading and diversion work. This initial work will be completed prior to asphalt resurfacing.
The contractor (Morris, Inc.) plans to start with dirt work to fix ditch erosion as well as to build diversions for pipe replacement. This part of the $9.14 million project will take approximately four months to complete. Once finished, the cold milling and paving operations will begin.
Weather permitting, the cold milling is scheduled to begin the first week of August followed by the asphalt blading and paving operations.
During all operations (spot grading, pipe work, cold milling and asphalt paving), traffic will be carried through the work zones with the use of flaggers and a pilot car and/or traffic signals at the bridges as needed. Motorists can expect up to 15-minute delays during these times.
The contractor anticipates completing paving operations the mid-October, with the overall project completion set for Nov. 17, 2023.
