The Federal Highway Administration awarded the State of South Dakota $437,467.28 under the Emergency Relief program on November 21, 2025, to rebuild shoulder and inslope embankment approximately 5,500 feet in length filled with millings, place asphalt concrete surfacing approximately 60 feet of mainline, repair guardrail, rebuild abutment berm embankment, and remove significant flood debris on South Dakota Route 46 approximately 6 miles east and 5 miles north of Wakonda (milepost 355.5 to 356.69, Structure No. 14-102-000) in Clay County. The State of South Dakota Office of the Governor serves as the administrative recipient distributing federal highway emergency relief allocations across the state. Performance extends through October 4, 2028, in South Dakota. The Emergency Relief program, authorized under 23 U.S.C. Section 125, provides funding from the Highway Trust Fund to repair Federal-aid highways and roads on Federal lands that suffered serious damage from natural disasters or catastrophic failures; ER funding supplements State, local, and other Federal agency resources. This award reflects South Dakota's 2024–2025 flooding and severe weather damage and is representative of embankment restoration and debris removal grants across flood-affected counties.
