This section of Highway 44 is now open to the public. The cones and signs were removed on Friday.
On Friday, Nov 4 the driving public saw the removal of orange cones, barrels, flaggers and pilot cars on Highway 44.
Temporary paint striping is in place and the brand new concrete roadway is fully open to the public.
“Some smaller ongoing works still remains but the hard part is now behind us,” said Doug Sherman of the South Dakota Department of Transportation office in Winner.
Sherman said the DOT staff, Reede Construction and all their sub contractors are to be commended for a job well done.
“I appreciate the traveling public for having a lot of patience with all of us involved in the project this summer as road construction is never easy. Hopefully everyone can enjoy this new segment of Highway 44 for many years to come,” added Sherman.
The final phase of the reconstruction project will be next summer and will be on Highway 18 from Casey’s west to the bridge.
