Temporary Closure Scheduled for Cliff Avenue at Interstate 229 in Sioux Falls
SIOUX FALLS, S.D. – On Thursday, Jan. 8, 2026, South Cliff Avenue at Interstate 229 will be temporarily closed beginning at 9:30 a.m. as contractors remove a temporary bridge over Cliff Avenue. Weather permitting, the work is expected to be completed in one hour. During the closure, drivers should use exits 3 (Minnesota Avenue) and 5 (East 26th Street) as detour routes.
Flaggers will be present to direct southbound and northbound Cliff Avenue traffic onto the I-229 northbound and southbound on- and off-ramps. Motorists are reminded to use caution and reduce their speed while workers and equipment are present.
The prime contractor for this $48 million project is T&R Contracting, Inc. of Sioux Falls, SD. The overall project completion date is June 2027.
