Sycamore Avenue Closure
Beginning on Wednesday, April 22, 2026, South Sycamore Avenue will be closed from 69th Street to 85th Street. There will be a signed detour directing traffic to Cliff Avenue and SD Highway 11.
South Veterans Parkway is a joint project between the City of Sioux Falls and the South Dakota Department of Transportation (SDDOT). This work is part of the construction of the second segment of South Veterans Parkway from Cliff Avenue to Sycamore Avenue. Construction on this section of new road began in March 2025 and will continue through 2026. Construction of the southern portion of Veterans Parkway will occur in segments, with each segment taking about two years to complete.
Drivers are urged to use caution and reduced speeds while travelling near the construction area and may want to consider alternate routes.
