Truck detour in place

The cold mill machine will return to take out some of the pavement between Jackson St. and Subway on Highway 44.

This was one of the updates presented by Doug Sherman of the South Dakota DOT at the Aug. 2 highway update meeting.

With the cold mill back there will flaggers and pilot cars.

Sherman said Cherry Street which had been closed was scheduled to be opened on Aug. 2.

Sherman added that the Family Dollar approach will be built in phases and it will be very narrow entering this business.

There is a truck detour in place on Highway 44. The detour is Highway 49 and Highway 18. Sherman asks for cooperation in observing the detour.

He noted there is a membrane on the new highway surface and it could be damaged by trucks and that is one of the reasons for the detour.

If local truck traffic needs to get to a business that is allowed.

The concrete paving on Highway 44 is expected to start after Labor Day.

Please drive slow and follow all signs on Highway 44.
