RAPID CITY, SD—With warmer temperatures and with spring officially upon us, various construction projects are or will be getting underway in the city. City Public Works officials remind residents they can keep updated on construction public service announcements by visiting the City’s website at www.rcgov.org .
For several years, the City’s home page contains a ‘Featured Content’ section which includes road construction updates. Staff with the City’s Public Works Department update the content whenever new projects are scheduled or current projects are updated. The site includes a road construction map, details on specific projects that include start and anticipated completion dates for each project, locations of the project, traffic impacts, specific maps to each project, contractor information and details to the construction.
“Every construction season is busy and the road construction updates feature on the City’s website is a great way for the public to stay informed and updated on the various projects going on in the community,” said Shannon Truax, City Administration Operations Manager. “This is the time many projects will be getting started or resuming after taking the winter season off.
“We want to make sure the public has a quick and easy way to check on the status and details of the projects.”
Truax said the website feature is a great resource for the public. The City also issues public service announcements on individual construction projects which are issued to media outlets and posted on the City’s social media platform.
Each construction project detailed in the road construction updates also includes telephone contact information if there are questions about the project.
