Governor Rhoden to Join Federal, State, and Local Leaders for Platte-Winner Bridge Groundbreaking

PLATTE, S.D. –  On Thursday, Oct. 22, 2026, Governor Larry Rhoden and South Dakota Department of Transportation (SDDOT) Secretary Joel Jundt will be joined by federal, state, and local leaders for the Platte-Winner Bridge groundbreaking event. The ceremony will include remarks from key project leaders, followed by a formal groundbreaking and photos. Honoring a tradition from the original bridge dedication held in 1966, the Platte-Geddes High School and Winner Area High School bands will perform at the groundbreaking, connecting generations of South Dakotans.


WHAT:  Platte-Winner Bridge Groundbreaking (Presentation with groundbreaking ceremony)

WHEN:  Thursday, Oct. 22, 2026 – 2:30 p.m. CT

WHERE: Event will take place near the iconic Wayside Chapel site, located on the north side of S.D. Highway 44 on the east bank of the Missouri River.
                

Onsite parking will be available for guests. Wayfinding signage will be provided. In the case of inclement weather, the presentation and ceremonial groundbreaking will take place indoors at the Platte-Geddes Elementary School, located at 401 S. Iowa Ave., in Platte.

 

About the Platte-Winner Bridge:

  • Construction is planned for 2027–2031.
  • The new bridge is designed for a 100-year service life. 

 

The existing bridge will remain open throughout construction and will not be removed until the new bridge is complete.
