SIOUX FALLS, S.D. – On Thursday, July 6, 2023, a nighttime closure is planned for the 60th Street Bridge over Interstate 229 just south of the Interstate 90/229 interchange. Between the hours of 8 p.m. to 6 a.m. the contractor will begin removing temporary forms used to pour the bridge deck for the new bridge. During this timeframe, I-229 will be closed from the I-90 interchange to Benson Road in both directions.
A detour route will be in place during this nighttime closure on July 6, 2023. At this point, only one nighttime closure of I-229 is planned. The prime contractor on the $6.5 million project is Grangaard Construction, Inc. of Watertown, SD. The overall completion date for the project is Aug. 11, 2023.
