Road work: fresh oil, paving is listed at US-281 from Junction US 14 West to Junction South Dakota 28, according to the South Dakota Department of Transportation's traveller-information feed.
The feed gives the route as US-281, the reference milepost as 131.038 and the affected direction as Both Directions.
The feed publishes a listed start of 2026-07-22T14:18:00.000Z and no listed end — the feed publishes none for this record, which is how it represents work scheduled until further notice. Times are given in UTC as converted from the feed's own numeric timestamps.
Whether this work is currently underway is not stated in this text, deliberately: it depends on the time you are reading, so 605Buzz computes it from the dates above each time the page is loaded rather than storing an answer that would go out of date without anyone noticing. The status shown at the top of this page is the computed one.
The feed publishes coordinates of 44.54035418, -98.49887912 for this record. Those are the department's own figures, reproduced as published; 605Buzz does not geocode.
The department's own description of the work, reproduced without changes as published in the feed:
The following road construction project is in progress: fresh oil on the shoulder and paving with delays 15 minutes, flaggers, lanes reduced to 1, pilot car, and width limit 16 ft until further notice. The project consists of milling, asphalt paving, turn lane construction, and shoulder work. Shoulders may have fresh oil and the driving surface will be milled. Traffic will be controlled with flaggers and pilot car.
That paragraph is the department's wording at the time this record was last read, including any dates or restrictions inside it. 605Buzz does not rewrite it, and a detail inside it can be superseded without the surrounding fields changing.
The feed links dot.sd.gov/construction-projects/aberdeen-region/huron-area/us-highway-281-from-wolsey-to-redfield/ for this project.
605Buzz has not independently verified conditions on this road. Schedules change with weather and contractor progress, and the department is the authority; check SD511 before travelling.
This record comes from the South Dakota Department of Transportation's public traveller-information feed, served through its vendor's content network. Neither host publishes a robots.txt or terms-of-use page, so no access directive exists either way; 605Buzz reproduces the department's own fields with attribution and does not claim a licence nobody granted.
