Road Closures Expected in Grant County Due to Upcoming Structure Replacements

The South Dakota Department of Transportation (SDDOT) has stated that structure replacements in Grant County will start on Monday, April 8, 2024. BX Civil and Construction, Inc. will handle the project. It involves replacing two structures near Milbank and Albee over the Whetstone and Yellow Bank Rivers.

The first structure is on 480th Avenue, north and east of Milbank, over the Whetstone River. Work will start in April and should finish in early July. The second structure is on 482nd Avenue, north of Albee, over the Yellow Bank River. Work will start in May and should finish in mid-September.

Both structures will be closed to traffic during construction. A detour will be available to limit disruption. The project aligns with SDDOT's goal to maintain a safe and effective public transportation system.

The project's estimated cost is $1.8 million, with a completion date of Sunday, October 27, 2024. For updates on road and weather conditions, road closures, construction work zones, commercial vehicle restrictions, and traffic incidents, the public can visit the SDDOT website or dial 511.
