Version history

Every published version of this article, newest first. Versions are append-only: a correction adds a row, it never rewrites history. Each version below states what changed against the version before it — which fields moved, and which body lines were added or removed.

The content hash is a SHA-256 fingerprint of that version's stored headline and body, computed when the version was written. Two versions with the same hash hold identical text; a changed hash proves the text moved. It is the tamper-evidence check — recompute it against an exported copy of a version and any silent edit shows up as a mismatch.

How we verify a hash — and how you can

Canonicalization: the hashed bytes are the version's stored headline, then the two characters ||, then the version's stored body markdown — UTF-8, SHA-256, lowercase hex. Nothing else is in the input: no normalization, re-wrapping or rendering is applied first, no trailing newline is added, and no other field (including the parent version's id) is mixed in.

Export a version's stored headline and body, join them with the two characters ||, and take the SHA-256 of the UTF-8 bytes. It must equal the hash printed beside that version. In a shell: 

printf '%s' "HEADLINE||BODY" | shasum -a 256

    • **Restrictions: gravel surface, miscellaneous construction** is listed at US-85 from 12.25 miles south to 12 miles south of Junction South Dakota 168, according to the South Dakota Department of Transportation's traveller-information feed.
    • The feed gives the route as US-85, the reference milepost as 67.030 and the affected direction as Both Directions.
    • The feed publishes a listed start of May 12, 2026, 5 a.m. MDT / 6 a.m. CDT and a listed end of Oct. 30, 2026, 8:15 a.m. MDT / 9:15 a.m. CDT. 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 44.903479, -103.71035 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:
    • > Restrictions include: width limit 16 ft until 8:15 AM MDT Friday, October 30, 2026. Two-way traffic will be routed around the construction site using a temporary gravel diversion with reduced speeds.
    • That paragraph is the department's wording at the time this record was last read, including any dates or restrictions inside it.
    • The feed links [dot.sd.gov/inside-sddot/region-area-offices/region-and-area-offices/](https://dot.sd.gov/inside-sddot/region-area-offices/region-and-area-offices/) for this project.
    • 605Buzz 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.

    • US-85 is scheduled for restrictions during gravel surface and miscellaneous construction in both directions.
    • The state transportation department describes the work this way:
    • > Restrictions include: width limit 16 ft until 11:09 PM MST Thursday, November 19, 2026. Two-way traffic will be routed around the construction site using a temporary gravel diversion with reduced speeds.
    • The listed work zone runs from 12.25 miles south to 12 miles south of the South Dakota 168 junction, near milepost 67. The work is listed from 8:34 a.m. Mountain time (9:34 a.m. Central) Thursday, Oct. 8, 2026, until 11:09 p.m. Mountain Thursday, Nov. 19 (12:09 a.m. Central Friday, Nov. 20). The listing does not say which time zone applies, so both are given.
    • The project has its own page: [dot.sd.gov/inside-sddot/region-area-offices/region-and-area-offices/](https://dot.sd.gov/inside-sddot/region-area-offices/region-and-area-offices/).
    • Plans change with weather and crews' progress; the South Dakota Department of Transportation has the latest at [SD511](https://www.sd511.org/).
