41st Street, Marion Road to I-29

Phase 1 construction of the 41st Street Diverging Diamond Interchange (DDI) project is complete. This project is nearly ten years in the making, as SDDOT and the City of Sioux Falls made plans to improve safety and enhance traffic operations in this area. The DDI was chosen because of its safety features, greater capacity, and efficiency that it provides for the traveling public. It reduces the conflict of left-hand turn movements and meets the needs of all road users to accommodate large trucks, pedestrians, and bicyclists. Construction is scheduled to span from 2022 to 2024. Each year segmented its own phase of work.

In April 2022, Phase 1 construction of the project began. During Phase 1, a portion of 41st Street from Marion Road to Meadow Avenue underwent a series of upgrades and transformations that included:

  • Adding traffic lanes
  • Repaving traffic lanes
  • Updating underground utilities
  • Adding new sidewalks and accessible curb ramps
  • Installing new traffic signals and streetlights
  • Reinforcing the girders of the 41st Street bridge
  • Building retaining walls for southbound Interstate 29 on and off ramps

As construction work winds down for the winter, 41st Street is now fully reopened to motorists, but pedestrian traffic will still be limited to the south side of 41st Street when crossing Interstate 29. Pedestrians will need to cross to the south side of 41st Street, at either of the signalized intersections at Marion Road or Terry Avenue, as the sidewalks along the north side of the street east of Meadow Avenue will remain closed.

Phase 2

Spring 2023

Work on Phase 2 will begin in spring 2023, where crews will focus on the DDI bridge structure and updates to 41st Street from Carolyn Avenue to Shirley Avenue. During this time, there will be lane closures, but at least one lane of traffic will be open in each direction along 41st Street. Updates to be completed in Phase 2 include:

  • Updating and adding underground utilities
  • Installing new traffic signals and streetlights
  • Installing new medians
  • Adding new sidewalks and accessible curb ramps

The diverging diamond and construction along 41st Street is expected to finish around November 2023. This will allow the crew to focus on clean-up, finishing touches, and restoration in the spring of 2024.

While most of the construction is on hold for the winter, traffic signal work will continue at the Terry Avenue and 41st Street and the Shirley Avenue and 38th Street intersections. During this time the project’s bi-weekly newsletters and website project updates will be paused. Project announcements will be made as needed and regularly scheduled updates will resume in the spring, with the start of Phase 2 of construction.
