  "bodyMd": "**Road work: loose rock, fresh oil** is listed at SD-37 from 3 miles south to 2 miles south of Junction US 14-Huron, according to the South Dakota Department of Transportation's traveller-information feed.\n\nThe feed gives the route as SD-37, the reference milepost as 125.899 and the affected direction as Both Directions.\n\nThe feed publishes a listed start of 2026-08-05T13:00:00.000Z and a listed end of 2026-08-14T21:55:00.000Z. 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so 605Buzz computes it from the dates above each time the page is loaded rather than storing an answer that would go out of date without anyone noticing.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 44.34157834, -98.21416266 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: fresh oil and loose rock with flaggers and lanes reduced to 1 until 4:55 PM CDT Friday, August 14, 2026. Chip Seal and Fog seal operations will be under way for several days. Traffic will be controlled by flaggers during active working hours. Motorists are advised to watch for loose rock and fresh oil following chip seal application.\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last read, including any dates or restrictions inside it. 605Buzz does not rewrite it, and a detail inside it can be superseded without the surrounding fields changing.\n\n605Buzz has not independently verified conditions on this road.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.",
