NO Open Burning in Yankton County 10-03-07-2024.
With conditions as dry as they are out in Yankton County. The No Open Burning will remain in place until Monday, the 7th of October 2024. stay tuned for more up-to-date information as time goes on.
The greatest concern for near critical to critical conditions is Friday (west of the James River) and Saturday (the entire forecast area).
During the week of Monday, Aug. 26, 2024, traffic will be diverted onto the newly constructed lanes of the U.S. Highway 81 grading project between 302nd Street and 306th Street north of Yankton. The traffic switch will shift two-way traffic onto the newly built lanes to allow for construction to begin on the remainder of the project. Traffic flow will require multiple lane shifts to direct the traveling public through the work zone.
The lane widths will be a maximum of 10 ft.-wide, including shoulders. Overwidth vehicles will be required to use the designated detour route located on S.D. Highway 50, S.D. Highway 25, and S.D. Highway 46.
The traveling public should also be aware that 303rd Street will be closed to thru traffic from Highway 81 to the SW Jim River Road until the point in time that traffic can be directed onto the newly constructed lanes.
Traffic speed will be reduced to 45 mph through the length of the project. Spot flagging and pilot car operations may be required where work is being done adjacent to the newly constructed lanes.
