SIOUX FALLS, S.D. - On Monday, July 8, 2024, the modification of median crossovers and lane widening is scheduled to begin on Interstate 229 near exit 4 in Sioux Falls.

The project will also include construction of a temporary bridge in preparation for an interchange reconstruction at I-229 and exit 4 (Cliff Avenue) in 2025.

Motorists are reminded to use caution and reduce their speed while workers and equipment are present through the work zones.
