The first of weekly highway construction meetings was held April 6 in the city council chambers.
The purpose is to keep people informed on work with the re-construction of Highway 18.
The work on the road project started March 29. The work is primarily on Highway 18 from Van Buren to 7th St.
South Dakota Department of Transportation and T &R Contracting of Sioux Falls, the prime contractor, conducted the meeting.

He said the construction company will be milling the east side of Main Street to Adams Street.
Traffic is being maintained through the construction zone. An 11 foot width restriction will be in place. Vehicles larger than 11 foot will have to take an alternate route or obtain a permit.
