STURGIS, S.D. – The South Dakota Department of Transportation will hold a public meeting August 27th to provide an update on a major reconstruction and widening project for Lazelle Street in Sturgis.
The project, which covers Highway 34 from 10th Street to east of Blanche Street, is expected to take about six years and be completed in three phases.
DOT officials say the work will include wider lanes, new pavement, updated drainage systems, upgraded traffic signals, improved street lighting, and ADA-compliant sidewalks on both sides of the roadway.
To accommodate the improvements, additional right-of-way property will be needed from landowners along the corridor. Officials say affected residents will receive information about property acquisition offers and relocation assistance programs.
The public meeting begins at 5:30 p.m. on August 27th at the Sturgis Community Center.
