  "bodyMd": "**Road work: bridge construction, grading, miscellaneous construction** is listed at SD-44 from 0.50 mile west to 1.75 miles east of Missouri River, according to the South Dakota Department of Transportation's traveller-information feed.\n\nThe feed gives the route as SD-44, the reference milepost as 259.239 and the affected direction as Both Directions.\n\nThe feed publishes a listed start of Oct. 16, 2026, 1:36 p.m. MDT / 2:36 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 43.38618286, -99.13322779 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: from Missouri River to 1.75 miles east of Missouri River - bridge construction adjacent to the roadway, grading adjacent to the roadway, and miscellaneous construction adjacent to the roadway until further notice. Preparation work on the northside of the current bridge has begun. Work for fall and winter of 2026-2027 will consist of building dock walls for the new bridge construction starting in spring of 2027.\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/construction-projects/mitchell-region/mitchell-area/sd-highway-44-platte-winner-bridge/](https://dot.sd.gov/construction-projects/mitchell-region/mitchell-area/sd-highway-44-platte-winner-bridge/) 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.",
