Road work: miscellaneous construction is listed at US-81 at Yankton, according to the South Dakota Department of Transportation's traveller-information feed.

The feed gives the route as US-81, the reference milepost as 0.084 and the affected direction as Both Directions.

The feed publishes a listed start of Sept. 8, 2026, 7:05 a.m. MDT / 8:05 a.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.

Whether 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.

The feed publishes coordinates of 42.867212125, -97.3971274375 for this record. Those are the department's own figures, reproduced as published; 605Buzz does not geocode.

The department's own description of the work, reproduced without changes as published in the feed:

The following road construction project is in progress: miscellaneous construction in the driving lane with delays, flaggers, lanes reduced to 1, speed limit 30 mph, and truck speed limit 30 mph Tuesday between 8:00 AM and 8:00 PM until further notice. Bridge lighting work: Roadway will be reduced to one lane and traffic will be directed into the passing lane.

That paragraph is the department's wording at the time this record was last read, including any dates or restrictions inside it.

605Buzz has not independently verified conditions on this road. Schedules change with weather and contractor progress, and the department is the authority; check SD511 before travelling.
