PIERRE, S.D. – Eastbound and westbound lanes of Interstate 90 from Mitchell to Rapid City reopened at 10 a.m. CT/9 a.m. MT on Tuesday, Dec. 26, 2023. No Travel Advisories remain in place on some highways across the state.

While I-90 has reopened, travelers are advised that the combination of snow accumulations and sustained strong winds are causing snow-packed and ice-covered roads along with blizzard-like conditions. These factors will continue to create difficult travel conditions throughout the day and into the evening.

Reminders for travelers:

  • A Blizzard Warning is still in effect in western South Dakota for Tuesday, Dec. 26, 2023. Sustained high winds are forecasted throughout the day.
  • Travelers should expect to encounter very slippery and ice-covered roads. 
  • Snow removal equipment will be present on the roadway.
  • Tow plows and recovery equipment will also be in operation.
  • Please use extra caution. If traveling, reduce travel speed and do not use cruise control.
