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.
Construction is anticipated to begin on the first road segment between Western Avenue and Cliff Avenue in the spring of 2023. Design for the other three segments will simultaneously be underway, beginning with design for segment two of the project, which runs from I-29 to Western Avenue. The three additional segments for South Veterans Parkway will be constructed over the following years until the corridor is completed in 2027. Learn more about each segment.
