Valentine Main Street Project Update

Work continues for the IN VALENTINE project.

Expect the traffic shift for north/south traffic at 4th & Main to be removed. The closure of 4th Street, at the intersection of HWY 83 & Main Street, west toward Cherry Street, will remain closed and HWY 83 traffic will travel the Cherry Street Detour. Main Street will remain open.

Paulsen Construction is wrapping up the placement of the 9″ concrete roadway portion of the IN VALENTINE project. Sidewalks, curb repair, and patching on south Main Street will also be near completion this week. Driveways and sidewalk construction continues on the section of 4th & Main toward Cherry Street.

 IES will continue to place Street Lighting. Most footings for the street lights are in place and setting light poles is the next.

 Barnes Construction will remove temporary concrete, driveways, and sidewalks at 4th & Main early in the week.

Roadway Lighting Project Begins Today on U.S. Highway 18 in Todd County

Starting today,  a project begins in Todd County from the intersection of U.S. Highway 18 and U.S. Highway 83 to the east approximately one mile to Cheyenne Road.

Work on this project, which runs from Mission to the community of Antelope, consists of replacement of the existing roadway lighting system.

During the project, traffic will be controlled by lane closures and flaggers.

The existing roadway lighting in this area will be turned off today. It is anticipated that the new roadway lighting system will be operational mid to late June 2023.

Muth Electric of Mitchell, SD is the prime contractor on this $492,000 project. The project is scheduled for completion on Friday, June 30, 2023.
