- While school is out for the season, the contractor is working to complete improvements at the intersection of Bison Trail and Southeastern Avenue. All construction at Bison Trail will be finished prior to school resuming in the fall.
- Crews have installed a temporary railroad crossing within the construction area, allowing equipment and materials to be moved across the railroad tracks as work on the new road segment continues.
- Southeastern Avenue and Sycamore Avenue are both closed to traffic near the future South Veterans Parkway intersections. The detour routes are Cliff Avenue and S.D. Highway 11.
- The pedestrian underpass between the railroad tracks and Cliff Avenue is complete, and a second pedestrian underpass is under construction between Southeastern Avenue and Sycamore Avenue.
- Dirt is being hauled from a borrow pit near Cliff Avenue to east of the railroad tracks to build up the road embankment. Dirt is also being moved from the borrow pit for use between Cliff Avenue and Southeastern Avenue.
- Work also continues near Southeastern, with underground utilities nearly complete and surface material removal ongoing on the east side.

About the Project
When connected to the northern segment of Veterans Parkway, the additional nine miles of roadway for South Veterans Parkway will support a regional arterial road network around southeast Sioux Falls. This project — the final stage in connecting Interstate 29 with Interstate 90 — will accommodate growing transportation needs across the corridor and help prepare the greater Sioux Falls area for continued vibrant growth and development.
The first segment from Western Avenue to Cliff Avenue was completed and opened to traffic in November 2024. Construction on the next segment from Cliff Avenue to Sycamore Avenue will begin in spring 2025. The remaining segments will continue to be designed and constructed through 2027. Learn more about each segment.
