NORTH SIOUX CITY, S.D. (KTIV) - State officials expect floodwaters to reach Interstate 29 over the next 48-hours.
Around Noon, on Thursday, they'll close Interstate 29, from Exit 4 by McCook Lake to Exit 26 near Vermillon.
To prevent the floodwaters from spilling over into North Sioux City, and other parts of southern Union County, crews will extend the North Sioux City levees farther west across Interstate 29 at Exit 4.

Working to open later today they hope. -
That's what im hearing.Im not far from there and today a lot of closures due to the big soo over its banks and the Missouri river is about to run over its banks.We've had a lot of rain lately.

I-29 reopened between Sioux City and Sioux Falls on Friday pm (20 June).

Yeah, the river crested a day early and 4+ feet shy of what they expected. They lowered the forecast in Omaha by 4 foot yesterday as well.

I-29 from Sioux City up to the Vermillion exit was normal this afternoon.
As of this Saturday afternoon (21 June), only the SD highway 50 bridge over the Big Sioux going to Westfield IA/Highway 12 is open (going east of I-29 Exit 26 - the Coffee Cup truck stop towards Iowa). Kind of like driving through a lake because the water is up to the road on both sides of the road. I'm going to be taking that Monday if it doesn't rain again.
The Akron/Highway 48 bridge is closed, and so is the Jefferson SD bridge coming from Highway 12. Iowa's Highway 12 is open, but it did have a couple of stretches of water across it that have now gone down.
