Construction began on the Sioux Falls DDI in 2022 and is near completion.

The current traffic pattern is in a more simplified DDI configuration with one lane in each direction over the bridge. All lanes of the DDI are anticipated to open at the end of June.

All on- and off-ramps are open except for westbound traffic on the northbound off-ramp.
