Multiple Ramp Closures Coming to Interstate 229 in Sioux Falls

Drivers in Sioux Falls will have two fewer ways to enter and exit Interstate 229 in the coming days.

The South Dakota Department of Transportation has announced that beginning Monday (August 12), the northbound off-ramp at Benson Road will be closed for the installation of utilities, grading, and concrete surfacing.

The closure will be in effect through October 14.

During that time, traffic will be detoured to Benson Road, Cliff Avenue, and Rice Street. Benson Road will remain open from Cliff Avenue to I-229. Access will be maintained for local businesses throughout the project.

This work is part of a project that will reconstruct approximately one and one-half miles of Benson Road and one mile of I-229 ramps.

The closure will remain in effect until August 21.

The work is part of a $5.6 million interchange reconstruction project, which is scheduled to be completed in December.
