How carriers move through South Dakota.
I-90 crosses the state from Sioux Falls through Mitchell and Chamberlain to Rapid City and Wyoming. I-29 runs north–south through Sioux Falls, Brookings and Watertown, and I-190 serves downtown Rapid City.
Seasons and weather
Winter blizzards can close I-90, and the Black Hills get more snow than the plains. In early August, the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally fills western South Dakota.
