South Dakota Governor Larry Rhoden Presides Over Euclid Avenue Reconstruction Ribbon-Cutting in Pierre
South Dakota Governor Larry Rhoden, alongside Transportation Secretary Joel Jundt and Pierre Mayor Todd Johnson, participated in a ribbon-cutting ceremony for the reconstructed South Dakota Highway 1889, known locally as Euclid Avenue, in Pierre. This event marked the completion of a two-year, multimillion-dollar infrastructure project that overhauled one of the capital city's busiest corridors. The extensive work included replacing aging asphalt and concrete, installing new curb and gutter systems, and upgrading intersections with ADA-compliant ramps, new sidewalks, modern traffic signals, and improved lighting. Governor Rhoden emphasized South Dakota's commitment to prioritizing infrastructure, building for the future, and ensuring longevity. Mayor Johnson praised the collaborative effort among various agencies that led to the successful outcome of the project.
