SDDOT is already prepared for possibility of snow - KEVN 10/25/2023

RAPID CITY, S.D. (KEVN) - With the possibility of snow later this week, the South Dakota Department of Transportation (SDDOT) is watching conditions to make sure they are prepared for any amount of snow we could accumulate.

This included resupplying materials, working on equipment, and making sure everything is running correctly.

“Our crew here does other tasks than plowing snow.
