Project begins at Jefferson Port of Entry on Interstate 29

Posted

YANKTON — A project has begun at the port of entry located 4 miles north of Jefferson on Interstate 29. This port of entry was the state’s first electronic screening facility.

The project includes removal of the existing commercial vehicle electronic screening equipment. Once removed, concrete pavement will be placed and new commercial vehicle electronic screening equipment will be installed.

During the project, single lane closings through the work area will be in effect.

The contractor for this $1.3 million project is Dakota Contracting Corp. of Sioux Falls. The overall project completion date is Aug. 30.
