  "bodyMd": "**Restrictions: grading** is listed at US-18 from 0.75 mile west to 1.25 miles east of Junction South Dakota 43, according to the South Dakota Department of Transportation's traveller-information feed.\n\nThe feed gives the route as US-18, the reference milepost as 307.610 and the affected direction as Both Directions.\n\nThe feed publishes a listed start of Aug. 24, 2026, 1:10 p.m. MDT / 2:10 p.m. CDT and no listed end — the feed publishes none for this record, which is how it represents work scheduled until further notice. Each is one instant shown in both of South Dakota's zones — Mountain first, Central second; they are the same moment. The feed names a route and not a zone, so 605Buzz does not pick one for you.\n\nWhether this work is currently underway is not stated in this text: it depends on the time you are reading, and the department is the authority.\n\nThe feed publishes coordinates of 43.011889, -98.89512 for this record. Those are the department's own figures, reproduced as published; 605Buzz does not geocode.\n\nThe department's own description of the work, reproduced without changes as published in the feed:\n\n> Restrictions include: width limit 12 ft until further notice. Grading on Highway US 18 near SD 43. Traffic will be limited to 1 lane by use of stop sign closures and flaggers at various times. Widths will be limited to 12'. Gravel surfacing will be in place through the grading section.\n\nThat paragraph is the department's wording at the time this record was last read, including any dates or restrictions inside it.\n\n605Buzz has not independently verified conditions on this road. Schedules change with weather and contractor progress, and the department is the authority; check [SD511](https://www.sd511.org/) before travelling.",
