BOX ELDER, S.D. –  The South Dakota Department of Transportation (SDDOT) says construction of a shared use path in Box Elder will require a temporary lane closure on Monday, July 18 and Tuesday, July 19, 2022. The lane closure will be on N. Ellsworth Rd. between the hours of 9:30 a.m. and 5 p.m. both days.

The closure will be used to set up a concrete pump truck to pour the sidewalk between the Cimmaron Mall entrance and Constitution Avenue. Flaggers will be used to guide traffic through the work area during the lane closure. Motorists should expect up to 15 minute delays.

The prime contractor on the $824,920 project is Ti-Zack Concrete, Inc. of Le Center, MN. The project is scheduled for completion by Friday, Oct. 28, 2022.
