Road Construction Continues in Dell Rapids

April 22, 2017 by Matt Larson, Big Sioux Media

Roads continue to be updated in and around Dell Rapids this spring and summer.

10th street was just recently closed for completion. Removals and grading work is now beginning for 10th Street. Curb and guttering will take place in the next few weeks, and the asphalting of the street will follow. The sidewalk install and grading of the yard behind the curb will be the last steps. Substantial completion date for the 10th Street project has been set for June 10th.

City Administration was informed by the South Dakota Department of Transportation that the Hwy 115 bridge will be opened by May 1st. That is also the same day that Interstate 29 overpass is scheduled to be closed for that project. During the last regular meeting, the Dell Rapids City Council approved city administration to arrange a meeting with LG Everist, the I-29 project contractor, and the SD DOT to discuss a temporary truck route south through on Garfield Ave to Quartzite St.

As the summer comes to an end, construction in Dell Rapids continues to be at full strength on four big projects.

The 15th Street project continues at a steady pace. All of the curb and gutter has been installed throughout the project. Driveways and approaches along with sidewalks will be the next steps of the project in the coming weeks. The final completion date is still projected to be October 31st.

The new County Fair Foods store has seen great progression over the last few weeks. The roof was just recently completed, and there is continuous site grading. According to John Clark of County Fair Foods, the new store is predicted to be open by Christmas of this year.

The Family Dollar building has gone up as well in recent weeks, and crews have be working on the removal of the asphalt parking lot. The Casey’s site has seen some significant changes as well. The entire Dell Rapids Event Center building has been removed to make way for the new Casey’s location. Both the Family Dollar and Casey’s General Store should be open sometime early in 2014.
