About the Project

When connected to the northern segment of Veterans Parkway, the additional nine miles of roadway for South Veterans Parkway will support a regional arterial road network around southeast Sioux Falls. This project — the final stage in connecting Interstate 29 with Interstate 90 — will accommodate growing transportation needs across the corridor and help prepare the greater Sioux Falls area for continued vibrant growth and development.

 

The first segment from Western Avenue to Cliff Avenue was completed and opened to traffic in November 2024. Construction on the next segment from Cliff Avenue to Sycamore Avenue will begin in spring 2025. The remaining segments will continue to be designed and constructed through 2027. Learn more about each segment.
