BH Pioneer: DOT extends written public comment period for Highway 85 reconstruction project
The South Dakota Department of Transportation (SDDOT) hosted a public meeting open house on June 4, to share the proposed design for the U.S. Highway 85 reconstruction project from the Wyoming state line to U.S. Highway 14A (Cheyenne Crossing) in Lawrence County.
Based upon requests from members of the public, the SDDOT has extended the written comment period from the original date of June 19, to Sept. 4. The date extension will maximize the opportunity for public engagement. Written comments may be made on the website at https://dot.sd.gov/ushighway85towy or via email to Mark Malone at mark.malone@state.sd.us.
For those who could not attend the June public meeting open house, or who may desire additional information on the overall proposed project, material is available online at https://dot.sd.gov/ushighway85towy.
