RAPID CITY, S.D. - On Wednesday, Aug. 28, 2024, the Anamosa Street and Nickel Street intersection in Rapid City will be temporarily closed to traffic. This temporary closure will allow crews to reconstruct the eastern half of the intersection, replace surfacing, and meet current ADA standards.

A signed detour route will be provided to motorists around the temporary closure utilizing Silver Street. The intersection is anticipated to be reopened by Monday, Sept. 30, 2024.
