Construction Expected To Cause A Frustrating Summer Driving Season In Hughes County

PIERRE — It could be a frustrating summer of travel for those in Hughes County. Hughes County Sheriff Patrick Callahan says construction projects are already having an impact on travel…and the season just started…

Callahan says he expects alternate routes to Pierre to find more use with the current construction projects in place…

Head-to-head traffic over the Missouri River bridge was expected to begin May 15th. That date was amended back to May 31st, but a mobile construction signboard south of Fort Pierre indicated the head-to-head would begin June 7th.
