BELLE FOURCHE, S.D. – On Monday, Aug. 10, the South Dakota Department of Transportation will begin installing a box culvert on Highway 75, at mile marker 225, south of Lodgepole.  

The work involves the replacement of three old culverts with one new box culvert.

Motorists can expect a gravel surface and traffic reduced to one lane controlled with temporary traffic signals. Flaggers will also be used as needed. An 11-foot width restriction will also be in effect at this location.
