STURGIS, S.D. – After setting a load limit and a lower speed limit on New Underwood Road last month, Meade County Commissioners this week approved using one million dollars for temporary road fixes.
The commission unanimously approved a motion Tuesday to apply the budget supplement for highway use in the amount of one-million from 2025 assigned funds within the general fund to make temporary repairs on the heavily traveled road.
Last month, commissioners reduced the speed limit and set a load limit on the worst part of the road.
Commissioners have made a plea to the state to make New Underwood Road a state highway due to its high usage.
