Euclid Avenue reconstruction project in Pierre starts Monday

March 28, 2025:

The $26.4 million Euclid Avenue/US Highway 14/83 reconstruction project in Pierre starts Monday (March 31, 2025).

Morris Incorporated is the contractor. At a recent informational meeting, Operations Manager TJ Gallagher shared the basics of the project’s two year timeline.

Gallagher said Phase Two will be done almost simultaneously with parts of Phase One, but the Phase Two work will be in the Pleasant Drive and Capitol Avenue area.

Gallagher says Pierre Street, south of Sioux Avenue, will become a one-way with no access from Sioux.

Traffic on Sioux Avenue will be reduced to a single lane in each direction during the early phases of the project.

The overall completion date is November 2026.
