Fort Pierre City Council Gets Update On Waldron Bridge Construction Traffic Flow

FORT PIERRE — If the grumbling hasn’t started yet the questions certainly have about traffic flow through the John Waldron Memorial Bridge construction zone in Fort Pierre. Public Works Director Rick Hahn says the city is working with the South Dakota Department of Transportation to smooth out traffic…

On May 15th overwidth truck traffic will have to detour over the Oahe Dam. Fort Pierre City Council member Scott Deal asked Hahn about the timing of the lights at Yellowstone Street and the Highway 14/34/83 junction…

A sweeping right-hand turn taking drivers from Highway 14/34 to Highway 83 through Fort Pierre is being eliminated in the project which seemed to catch Council member Rick Cronin by surprise…

Head-to-head traffic with both east and west bound traffic using the eastbound side of the current John Waldron Bridge will also begin around May 15th and will last through much of the construction season.
