Wednesday, April 30, 2025 Construction Updates
- The segment of South Veterans Parkway from Cliff Avenue to Sycamore Avenue is now under construction. Work with traffic impacts is occurring on Southeastern Avenue and Sycamore Avenue near the new South Veterans Parkway.
- Southeastern Avenue and Sycamore Avenue are both closed to traffic near the future South Veterans Parkway intersections. The detour routes are Cliff Avenue and S.D. Highway 11.
- The contractor is preparing the ground for building a bridge over the BNSF railroad. This includes installing aggregate piers (large holes drilled into the ground that are then filled with rock and compressed) and hauling dirt from a borrow pit near Cliff Avenue to bring the site up to grade.
- The contractor is installing the water main and sanitary sewer on Southeastern Avenue within the road closure area.
- The contractor is hauling dirt from a borrow pit by 69th Street across Sycamore Avenue within the closure area to the current construction area between Sycamore Avenue and Southeastern Avenue.

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.
