South Dakota’s Orange Bridge Warning System | Pierre News

South Dakota’s Highway 1889 near Pierre just got a high-tech safety upgrade with bright orange warning orbs designed to stop oversized trucks and RVs from damaging the Rapid City, Pierre and Eastern Bridge. The system gives drivers a clear heads-up to reroute before they’re too tall to pass safely — a smarter, more visible solution than the old setup. But as soon as it launched, social media exploded with rumors and confusion, prompting officials to step in and clarify that these orbs are purely for safety, not mischief. The highway is back open, though construction on Euclid Avenue continues until mid-November — so drivers, keep your eyes peeled and your routes flexible.
