Interstates Opening

I-90 is now open state-wide, and I-29 is open from the southern border to Brookings, I-29 remains closed at this moment from Brookings to the North Dakota border. Here's a look at why:

This picture was captured on the DOT street cameras (accessed through www.safetravelusa.com/sd) around 5:20 this morning. I circled the snow drift that takes up most of the road.

But crews are out trying to clear the roads... you can see that 2 hours later (at 7:20 when this picture was captured on the same camera) the drift is gone and there's just a bit of water left where the snow drift was.
Keep tuned onto KDLT, we'll update the closings ticker on the bottom of the screen throughout the day with more updates about the interstates.

Stay safe on the roads, winds will be diminishing today, so enjoy some more mild weather this week... just bundle up since it will be colder than normal.
