Due to road breakup, the South Dakota Department of Transportation is implementing a six-ton maximum axle weight limit beginning today (July 11, 2023) on S.D. Highway 34 from the Hughes/Hyde County line (mile marker 245) to SD Highway 47 (mile marker 257) near the town of Stephan.
Repairs have been underway and will continue on this 12 mile road segment. Motorists will be guided through the work zones with the use of a pilot car and flaggers. Delays of up to 10 minutes can be expected during daytime hours. Road conditions will be closely monitored to determine if the axle limit can be increased or removed.
Motorists are asked to slow down and be aware of equipment and workers in the work zone. Please use https://sd511.org to view the latest construction information and to plan an alternate route.
