RAPID CITY, S.D. – The South Dakota Department of Transportation (SDDOT) says that N. LaCrosse Street will be temporarily closed at Exit 59 and Interstate 90 with LaCrosse Street traffic being detoured during nighttime construction activities starting on Sunday, May 1, 2022, at 9 p.m. MDT. The temporary closure will remain in effect during the overnight hours from 9 p.m. until 5 a.m., Sunday, May 1, 2022, through Friday, May 6, 2022.
I-90 traffic will be detoured onto Exit 59 (N. LaCrosse Street) ramps, and immediately back onto I-90. Detours and signage will be posted, and the speed limit slowed to 25 mph. The reason for the closure is to protect the traveling public while old bridge girders are removed and new girders are placed on the east side of the N. LaCrosse Street Bridge.
Motorists and pedestrians are asked to be aware of construction workers and equipment in the LaCrosse Street and I- 90 vicinity.
This is the second year of the project to reconstruct the interchange on I-90 at Exit 59 (North LaCrosse Street). Complete Contracting of Rapid City is the prime contractor on the $17 million project. The overall completion date of this project is June 2023.
