What is the Speed Limit on Veterans Parkway?

As Veterans Parkway construction progresses, the City of Sioux Falls and South Dakota Department of Transportation (SDDOT) have planned roadway improvements to increase safety and promote consistency throughout the corridor. One of those includes changing the speed limit throughout Veterans Parkway to be 50 miles per hour. Crews have installed speed limit signs in completed sections, and new sections will have the same speed limit of 50 mph.

What is the construction schedule for South Veterans Parkway?

The first segment from Western Avenue to Cliff Avenue was completed in November 2024 and opened to traffic. 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.

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.
