Work on U.S. Highway 212 from just east of Eagle Butte to La Plant is scheduled to begin Monday (April 20, 2026).
The South Dakota Department of Transportation says the initial phase of the construction project will include milling of the existing surface and shoulder improvements near Eagle Butte. The project will then move eastward, near La Plant, with continued milling and placement of a two-inch lift of asphalt concrete.
Work on this $15.4 million road project will be progressing at multiple locations along the work zone. Traffic will be controlled with flaggers and a pilot car during working hours. During non-working hours, that segment of Highway 212 will be open to two-way traffic. Motorists should be prepared for delays of up to 15 minutes and are cautioned to reduce their speed when traveling through the work zone.
The overall project completion date is July 3, 2026.
