  "bodyMd": "**Road work: grading** is listed at SD-46 from 5.25 miles east to 5.50 miles east of Junction US 81 west of Mayfield, according to the South Dakota Department of Transportation's traveller-information feed.\n\nThe feed gives the route as SD-46, the reference milepost as 62.890 and the affected direction as Both Directions.\n\nThe feed publishes a listed start of Aug. 4, 2026, 2:46 p.m. MDT / 3:46 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 43.082811855, -97.293456845 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: grading adjacent to the roadway until further notice. Grading work is being done to repair a landslide on the south side of the roadway. All work is being done off the roadway and is not affecting Highway 46 traffic. Periodically, there will be haul trucks entering and leaving the jobsite.\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/projects-studies/construction-info](https://dot.sd.gov/projects-studies/construction-info#mitchell) 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.",
