The Federal Highway Administration awarded the State of South Dakota $178,930.31 on December 10, 2025, under the Emergency Relief Program (CFDA 20.271) to rebuild abutment berm embankments on South Dakota Route 19A approximately 1.5 miles south of Centerville between 296th Street and 297th Street in Turner County, where backwall undermining has exposed pile. The work addresses damage from the 2024–2025 flooding and severe weather events that triggered Emergency Relief activation across multiple South Dakota counties. Performance continues through October 4, 2028, and takes place in South Dakota. The State of South Dakota, Office of the Governor, serves as the recipient and administrative pass-through for the FHWA, which distributes Emergency Relief funding to counties and local highway agencies for repair of Federal-aid highways damaged by natural disasters or catastrophic failures. This award is classified as a Project Grant, one of a high-volume pipeline of discrete county and city road improvement projects the state manages statewide under the Emergency Relief Program's permanent $100 million annual authorization from the Highway Trust Fund.
