BISON, S.D. – Beginning Monday, June 8, 2026, crews will begin a pavement preservation project by sealing cracks on S.D. Highway 75 between the North Dakota border and S.D. Highway 20.

Traffic will be reduced to one lane with flaggers and a pilot car will guide motorists through the work zone. Motorists should expect delays up to 15 minutes. Drivers should expect construction equipment and crews working on the roadway.

Later this summer, crews will level the remaining cracks to enhance ride quality.

The prime contractor on this $267,824 project is Highway Improvement, Inc from Sioux Falls, SD. The overall project completion date is Friday, Dec. 11, 2026.
