S.D. Highway 11 North of Brandon Project Location Map

Project Summary:

The project will reconstruct approximately one and one-half miles of roadway, including replacing two bridges over West Pipestone Creek and Split Rock Creek.

The roadway will be raised approximately 10 to 12 feet through the low-lying valley to reduce flooding impacts and improve long-term reliability. Once complete, the new asphalt surface will provide a smoother ride for motorists and help reduce future maintenance needs.

Project FAQ's:

Is this stretch of road getting raised?
When will S.D. Highway 11 be fully closed?
Are the bridges being replaced?
What are expected travel delays during the closure?
