South Veterans Parkway Library & FAQs

South Veterans Parkway will be a six-lane roadway that, when connected to the existing northern segment of Veterans Parkway, will serve as a regional arterial route around southeast Sioux Falls. This project is the final stage in connecting Interstate 29 with Interstate 90 and will allow for increased traffic flow and improved connectivity across the corridor to help meet future transportation needs, along with stimulating regional economic growth. The route will have a raised median separating two-way traffic traveling at 55 miles per hour and signalized intersections at approximately every mile. A shared-use path for pedestrians and cyclists will be constructed along the south and east side of the roadway and will feature crossing options along the route.

South Veterans Parkway will connect I-29 to the previously completed Veterans Parkway, which is just north of 57th Street.

The first segment from Western Avenue to Cliff Avenue was completed in November 2024 and opened to traffic. 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.

This project is funded in partnership between the South Dakota Department of Transportation (SDDOT), City of Sioux Falls, Sioux Falls Metropolitan Planning Organization, and Federal Highway Administration. The project will cost approximately $210 million.

As Veterans Parkway construction progresses, the City of Sioux Falls and South Dakota Department of Transportation (SDDOT) have planned roadway improvements to increase safety and promote consistency throughout the corridor. One of those includes changing the speed limit throughout Veterans Parkway to be 50 miles per hour. Crews have installed speed limit signs in completed sections, and new sections will have the same speed limit of 50 mph. See more information about planned improvements.
