The South Dakota Department of Transportation made good progress on some highway projects in the Pierre and Fort Pierre area this summer, but in some cases they didn’t get as far as they had wanted to.
Director of Operations Craig Smith says contractors weren’t able to finish the work at the U-S Highways 83 and 14 junction south of Onida.
He says the Highways 83 and 14 project should be finished next year (2024).
As for the new Lt. Cmdr. John C. Waldron Memorial Bridge between Pierre and Fort Pierre, Smith says it should have been open already.
Smith says the state will also do some landscaping work for the bridge plaza areas on both sides of the Missouri River as the old bridge is removed. He says the logistics for removal of the current bridge are still being worked out.
