Interstate 90 continues five miles to junction South Dakota 11 at Brandon, but a new state highway (South Dakota 100) will tie into the freeway at Exit 402.

Construction on the first segment, near South Dakota, 42 is expected between 2008-09. Photo taken 04/20/07. |

South Dakota 100 will begin at Exit 402 and head south to a proposed interchange at the future Benson Road extension. Exit 402 will be upgraded from a diamond into a single point urban interchange (SPUI) as part of the South Dakota 100 project. Photo taken 04/20/07. |
