SIOUX FALLS, S.D. - Beginning on Tuesday, Sept. 3, 2024, the Interstate 229 (exit 4) northbound on-ramp at Cliff Avenue in Sioux Falls will be closed through Friday, Sept. 20, 2024. Crews will be installing a retaining wall and conducting lane widening operations for the I-229 temporary bridge and diversion.

Motorists should be prepared for delays and use alternate routes during peak travel times through the I-229 and Cliff Avenue construction project. Drivers are urged to use caution and reduce their speed while traveling through the area. Traffic control measures will continue to guide motorists around all closures.

The lane closure previously scheduled to take place on Thursday, Aug. 29, 2024, in the northbound lane at Cliff Avenue between the I-229 (exit 4) northbound on-ramp and southbound off-ramp has been postponed and will not be in effect.

This work is part of a larger project that will modify the median crossovers on Cliff Avenue in preparation for an interchange reconstruction project. The prime contractor on the $5.6 million project is Soukup Construction, Inc. of Sioux Falls, SD. The anticipated completion date of this preliminary work for the interchange reconstruction project is December 2024.
