  "bodyMd": "**Road work: fresh oil, loose rock** is listed at SD-45 from Junction US 14 West-Miller to Junction South Dakota 26 East, according to the South Dakota Department of Transportation's traveller-information feed.\n\nThe feed gives the route as SD-45, the reference milepost as 89.031 and the affected direction as Both Directions.\n\nThe feed publishes a listed start of Aug. 12, 2026, 4:39 p.m. MDT / 5:39 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 44.64070315, -98.9885652 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 delays 15 minutes, flaggers, and pilot car until further notice. Chip Seal and Fog seal operations will be under way for several days. Traffic will be controlled by flaggers and pilot car 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.\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.",
