A safer route for you.
SDDOT and the City of Sioux Falls are constructing a new diverging diamond interchange as the safest option for the most heavily traveled street in Sioux Falls and the state of South Dakota.
The diverging diamond was chosen because of the 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.

Finishing touches and clean-up; complete construction
We're making this as smooth as possible.
- 41st Street will have one lane in each direction that remains open to traffic at all times.
- Monitoring 41st Street intersections with live cameras and making signal adjustments in “real-time”.
- Adjusting signal timings on alternate routes to compensate for additional traffic.
- Keeping alternate routes free from construction.
