  "bodyMd": "**Road work: miscellaneous construction** is listed at SD-50 from 1.50 miles east to 4.25 miles east of Junction US 81 South-Yankton, according to the South Dakota Department of Transportation's traveller-information feed.\n\nThe feed gives the route as SD-50, the reference milepost as 170.555 and the affected direction as Both Directions.\n\nThe feed publishes a listed start of 2026-08-05T11:18:00.000Z 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.\n\nWhether 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so 605Buzz computes it from the dates above each time the page is loaded rather than storing an answer that would go out of date without anyone noticing.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.\n\nThe feed publishes coordinates of 42.879537, -97.363294 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> The following road construction project is in progress: miscellaneous construction adjacent to the roadway until further notice. Asphalt Surface Treatment \\(Chip Seal\\) will be placed on the shoulders adjacent to the concrete on this route beginning the week of August 17th. Roadway conditions will include Fresh Oil and Loose Rock on the shoulders. A fog seal coat of oil will be sprayed on the new rock once it is swept off. Traffic will be maintained with the use of lane closures.\n>\n> New pavement markings will also be placed with the project.\n>\n> Currently the Contractor is placing traffic control signs.\n\nThat 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last read, including any dates or restrictions inside it. 605Buzz does not rewrite it, and a detail inside it can be superseded without the surrounding fields changing.\n\nThe feed links [dot.sd.gov/projects-studies/construction-info](https://dot.sd.gov/projects-studies/construction-info#mitchell) for this project.\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.\n\nThis 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.\n\nSee the [corrections ledger](/corrections) if a field is wrong.",
