Navigating South Dakota requires an understanding of extreme weather patterns and massive seasonal tourism surges that can transform rural roads into high-volume chokepoints.
Blizzard & Tourism Alerts
- Interstate Closures: During severe winter storms, SDDOT frequently closes entire sections of I-90 and I-29 using physical gates. Always check cameras to see if gates are down before departing.
- Ground Blizzards: High winds can create zero-visibility whiteout conditions even after snow has stopped falling; cameras are essential for verifying road surface visibility.
- Sturgis Rally Surge: In early August, the Black Hills region (I-90, US-14, US-85) experiences extreme, all-day congestion as hundreds of thousands of motorcyclists arrive.
- Missouri River Fog: Dense fog frequently forms in the river valley near Chamberlain and Mobridge, significantly impacting visibility on cross-state routes.
