Interstate 90 at MM394 west of Sioux Falls
SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (KELO.com) — Interstate 90 (both eastbound and westbound) remains closed from Rapid City to Chamberlain due to sustained high winds causing blizzard-like conditions. As high winds move east, low visibility and drifting snow are worsening.
The current closure on I-90 will be extended to Sioux Falls at 5 p.m. on Thursday, Dec. 22, 2022.
The National Weather Service has issued a blizzard warning in effect through Friday, Dec. 23, 2022. In addition to blizzard-like conditions, many stuck and stranded vehicles are blocking lanes of traffic.
Due to continued high winds causing near zero visibility and drifting snow, along with ongoing issues with stranded motorists, SDDOT anticipates the I-90 closure to remain in place through Thursday and into Friday, Dec. 23, 2022.
Officials will continually assess conditions to determine when I-90 can be reopened safely.
