RAPID CITY, S.D. – An ongoing curve reconstruction project taking place at two separate locations, on Nemo Road and at the intersection of Norris Peak Road and Bogus Jim Road, will begin impacting traffic. On Tuesday, May 30, 2023, crews will begin to remove the existing roadway and complete the remaining work on the project.

Work will first be completed on Nemo Road near Pine Drive and progress to the other work location on Norris Peak Road at the Bogus Jim Road intersection. To date, work on the new alignment for the reconstructed curve has not impacted traffic.

Flaggers will be used to guide motorists through the work area. Delays of up to 15 minutes can be expected.
