  "bodyMd": "**Road work: miscellaneous construction** is listed at SD-44 from 1 mile east of Scenic to 11 miles west of Junction South Dakota 377-Interior, according to the South Dakota Department of Transportation's traveller-information feed.\n\nThe feed gives the route as SD-44, the reference milepost as 71.063 and the affected direction as Both Directions.\n\nThe feed publishes a listed start of Aug. 21, 2026, 5 a.m. MDT / 6 a.m. CDT and a listed end of Sept. 4, 2026, 4 p.m. MDT / 5 p.m. CDT. 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 43.713712, -102.385231 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 scheduled to begin: from 5:00 AM MDT Friday, August 21, 2026 miscellaneous construction with delays 15 minutes, flaggers, lanes reduced to 1, and pilot car until 4:00 PM MDT Friday, September 4, 2026. Chips seal operation. Loose gravel, fresh oil.\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.",
