ABERDEEN, S.D. – The South Dakota Department of Transportation (SDDOT) will begin concrete repair work at the intersection of U.S. Highway 12 and Dakota Street on Thursday, Sept. 9, 2021.

Dakota Street in Aberdeen will be closed at the 6th Ave./Highway 12 intersection for necessary repairs. Work is anticipated to start Thursday, Sept. 9, and continue for three to four days. Motorists should consider using alternate routes during this time.

The concrete repair operations will reduce traffic to one lane in each direction on Highway 12. Traffic will be controlled with lane closures. Motorists should be prepared for suddenly slowing and stopped traffic and be aware of construction equipment and workers adjacent to the roadway.

The contractor on this $5.6 million project is Ti-Zack Concrete, Inc. of Le Center, Minnesota. 

The anticipated completion date for the concrete repair work on Highway 12 is October 2021, with an overall project completion date of Sept. 1, 2022.
