EASTERN DAKOTA AND PIERRE TO I-90 EXPRESSWAY FEASIBILITY STUDY
South Dakota is served by two Interstate Highways that have proven to be very successful, not only in moving traffic, but also in helping communities in proximity to the highways to grow and prosper. In addition, South Dakota has several other 4-lane highways of shorter segments, located in and close to several of the State's communities. A number of communities, however, have been left without 4-line access. Recognizing the economic value of 4-lane highways, there is considerable interest on the part of these communities for the State to build additional 4-lane highways. The Eastern Dakota/Pierre to I-90 Expressway Study was initiated to investigate the economic feasibility of connecting population centers with the Interstate Highway System using freeways, expressways, or super two-lane routes. The study's purposes are: (1) To provide insights and information concerning whether or not a system of four-lane highways in the State is needed and feasible; (2) To provide insights and information concerning which specific Expressways are most feasible; (3) To determine the appropriate highway type needed; and (4) To analyze alternative ways to raise sufficient funds to pay for an Expressway Program.
