S.D. Highway 28 from Estelline east to the S.D. Highway 15 junction is scheduled to reopen to traffic on Saturday, November 15.
This project, which reconstructed 10 miles of Highway 28, included grading, structure work, and interim surfacing. While Highway 28 will be reopened to traffic, motorists are asked to stay alert for equipment and workers in the work zone. Crews will be completing the remaining clean-up work in the coming weeks, as weather allows.
A portion of the project roadway surface is a treated temporary gravel surface. Motorists should reduce speed and travel with care due to possible loose gravel. A lower posted speed of 45 mph will be in place through the gravel section until the area is paved.
Permanent asphalt paving for this roadway is scheduled for 2026.
Bowes Construction of Brookings was the primary contractor for this $10.4 million reconstruction project.
