RAPID CITY, S.D. – Drivers in Rapid City should expect delays on East Omaha Street near the LaCrosse Street intersection as city crews repair a malfunctioning underground water service line.
The project requires workers to dig into the roadway to access a water main beneath Omaha Street and determine why water is not reaching a nearby property. Officials say the exact problem will not be known until crews reach the connection.
As repairs are underway, the northernmost westbound lane of East Omaha Street will be closed, forcing traffic to merge into a single lane through the work zone.
Traffic controls are expected to remain in place through next week while crews complete repairs and restore the roadway. City officials are urging drivers to slow down, use caution around workers and equipment, and consider alternate routes during peak travel times.
