WESTERN AVENUE ON-RAMP

During this phase of construction, traffic will be narrowed to two lanes northbound and two lanes southbound on the east half of the bridge. Traffic delays are expected. Travelers are encouraged to find alternate routes if possible.

MINNESOTA OFF-RAMP

The second project will affect motorists who regularly use the off-ramp at I-229 & Minnesota Avenue.

The closure is scheduled to begin at 9:00 AM on Monday, August 14. The Interstate 229 northbound off-ramp at Minnesota Avenue (exit 3). Weather dependent, this work will require the off-ramp closure to be in place through Monday, August 21.

The project will repair the concrete surfacing at the exit ramp that was damaged by recent excessive heat. This construction work is part of a larger project to repair various concrete pavements in the Sioux Falls area.
