  "bodyMd": "**Road work: grading** is listed at SD-38 from 6 miles west of Junction South Dakota 25 to Junction South Dakota 25, according to the South Dakota Department of Transportation's traveller-information feed.\n\nThe feed gives the route as SD-38, the reference milepost as 14.650 and the affected direction as Both Directions.\n\nThe feed publishes a listed start of June 15, 2026, 6 a.m. MDT / 7 a.m. CDT and a listed end of Nov. 20, 2026, 4 p.m. MST / 5 p.m. CST. 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 43.70257611, -97.72622089 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: ROAD CLOSED and grading with local traffic until 5:00 PM CST Friday, November 20, 2026. SD 38 is closed to traffic from SD25 west 6 miles to 421st Ave. A signed detour is in place on US81, Interstate 90, and SD38P \\(Riverside Road\\).\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/mitchell38](https://dot.sd.gov/mitchell38) for this project.\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.",
