New Rapid City Road open to traffic

Posted:

A snip of the scissors and some shuffling of road signs made it official; the new extension on East Anamosa Street opened Friday.

Mayor Sam Kooiker cut the ribbon to reveal the new street, but he was surrounded by all those involved.

The project cost nearly $7 million and covers more than 3,000 feet of pavement. The road gives traffic an alternate route through town and stretches from Walmart to Menards.

City engineer Dale Tech says he is happy to see it finished. "I think it's very rewarding to all that were involved in not only the planning but the construction and then ultimately I think the users will be quite happy," said Tech.

Planning for this Anamosa extension project started about ten years ago... But the actual construction just took a year.
