  "bodyMd": "**Road work: bridge repair** is listed at US-281 from 9.50 miles south to 6 miles south of Junction US 12-Aberdeen, according to the South Dakota Department of Transportation's traveller-information feed.\n\nThe feed gives the route as US-281, the reference milepost as 187.128 and the affected direction as Both Directions.\n\nThe feed publishes a listed start of Sept. 22, 2026, 6:48 a.m. MDT / 7:48 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.\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 45.3405106, -98.51529201 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: bridge repair with delays 5 minutes, lanes reduced to 1, no passing, speed limit 35 mph, traffic routed to opposing lanes, truck speed limit 35 mph, and width limit 12 ft daily between 6:00 AM and 7:00 AM until further notice. 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. Schedules change with weather and contractor progress, and the department is the authority; check [SD511](https://www.sd511.org/) before travelling.",
