YANKTON, SD – On Monday, July 17, 2023, chip seal and fog seal projects will be kicking off on several highways in the Yankton area.
On two-way highways this means traffic will be reduced to one lane and guided with the use of flaggers and a pilot vehicle. On divided highways traffic will be reduced to one land when work is in process. Delays of up to 15 minutes can be expected in the work zones.
In addition loose rock will be present for a period of time ranging from 36 to 72 hours after each days application process is finished. Permanent pavement markings are scheduled to be applied within 14 days of the initial chip and fog seal projects.
The eleven projects in the Yankton area are scheduled in the following order:
- SD Hwy 44 for approximately 15 miles from US Hwy 18 to 424th Ave. near the James River.
- SD Hwy 18 for approximately 17 miles from US Hwy 81 to SD Hwy 19.
