The South Dakota Department of Transportation on Monday will begin an $8.3 million project to reconstruct Highway 115 and replace a bridge over the Big Sioux River south of Dell Rapids.
Once the bridge is removed, traffic on Highway 115 from Centennial Place to Quarry Road will be detoured to Third Street-Garfield Avenue-Centennial Place. Signs will be in-place to direct motorists.
The reconstruction part of the project includes grading, storm sewer, structure work and concrete pavement surfacing of Highway 115 from Quarry Road to 248th Street. Traffic will be maintained through the construction portion of the project, but motorists are encouraged to use the suggested detour via 250th Street to Interstate 29 to Highway 115.
Officials expect the project to be completed by early November.
