Additional Lane Restrictions For Cliff Avenue in Sioux Falls

Starting Friday, June 6, 2025, motorists can expect significant traffic changes along South Cliff Avenue.

Construction crews will begin essential infrastructure improvements.

The northbound travel lanes will be temporarily shut down from the Big Sioux River bridge extending north to Tomar Road.

What to Expect

Construction teams will focus on critical roadway maintenance, including concrete joint restoration, partial-depth concrete rehabilitation, and comprehensive curb and gutter reconstruction.

During this phase, all vehicle traffic will be redirected to utilize the recently renovated southbound lanes, which will accommodate one lane of traffic flowing in each direction.

Traffic Management Details

Throughout the coming weeks, the specific locations of lane restrictions along this Cliff Avenue corridor will shift as work progresses between the Big Sioux River bridge and Tomar Road.

City officials emphasize that despite the ongoing construction activity, at least one travel lane will remain accessible for both northbound and southbound traffic at all times.

Access Assurance

Local businesses, residential properties, and recreational facilities, including parks, will maintain full accessibility during construction.

Side street connections will be preserved whenever feasible, ensuring minimal disruption to daily activities and commerce in the area.

Project Timeline and Safety

The comprehensive roadway improvement project is scheduled for completion by mid-August 2025.

City transportation officials strongly encourage drivers to exercise extra caution, maintain reduced speeds when navigating through the active work zone, and consider utilizing alternative routes to minimize delays and enhance safety for both motorists and construction personnel.
