  "bodyMd": "**Road work: fresh oil** is listed at US-12 from 9.25 miles east of Junction US 281-Aberdeen to 2.50 miles west of Junction South Dakota 37-Groton, according to the South Dakota Department of Transportation's traveller-information feed.\n\nThe feed gives the route as US-12, the reference milepost as 222.165 and the affected direction as Both Directions.\n\nThe feed publishes a listed start of Aug. 21, 2026, 11:53 a.m. MDT / 12:53 p.m. CDT and a listed end of Sept. 25, 2026, 5 p.m. MDT / 6 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 45.45839776, -98.24862019 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 adjacent to the roadway with delays 10 minutes, lanes reduced to 1, no passing, speed limit 45 mph, traffic routed to opposing lanes, and truck speed limit 45 mph Monday,Tuesday,Wednesday,Friday between 6:00 AM and 6:00 PM until 6:00 PM CDT Friday, September 25, 2026. For information or questions about a construction project, please find contact information for our SDDOT Area Offices at:\n\nThat paragraph is the department's wording at the time this record was last read, including any dates or restrictions inside it.\n\nThe feed links [dot.sd.gov/inside-sddot/region-area-offices/region-area-offices](https://dot.sd.gov/inside-sddot/region-area-offices/region-area-offices) for this project.\n\n605Buzz has not independently verified conditions on this road.
