The Pierre City Commission has begun planning for the street projects that will be done in 2025.
Staff Engineer Caleb Huizenga says they have a few different projects on the schedule.
Currently on the schedule are the stretch of Broadway Avenue between Euclid and Jefferson Avenues, a handful of blocks that include underground utility work and many short stretches of roadway throughout Pierre city limits.
Bids for the paving contract are due Jan. 23, 2025. If bids come in higher than the engineer’s estimate, Huizenga says they’ll need to prioritize which projects are completed first.
2024 was the first year the Pierre Street Department used a slurry seal process on some streets. Huizenga says early indications are that it has worked as well as they’d hoped it would.
The South Dakota Dept. of Transportation will begin rebuilding Euclid Avenue this spring. Although SDDOT is leading that reconstruction project, the City of Pierre is replacing and updating utilities located under Euclid in conjunction with that state project.
