GETTYSBURG, S.D. - - On Monday July 7,  2025, a centerline rumble strip project is scheduled to begin on segments of U.S. Highway 83 and U.S. Highway 212 between the towns of Onida and Gettysburg. 

The project limits on U.S. Highway 83 are from one mile north of Onida to the west junction of U.S. Highway 212 and Highway 83.

The project limits on Highway 212 are from one half mile west of the west Highway 83 and Highway 212 junction, to one mile west of Gettysburg.
