Road Paving Schedule Set for Next Week

Veblen, SD · July 14, 2026

The heat is settling in early today, so you’ll want to get your gardening done before the sun really starts to bite. Plenty of folks are already seeking out the shade of the porch before the morning coffee even cools.

📰 The Lead

Last night’s City Council meeting moved quickly through a light agenda, but the big takeaway for residents is the finalized timeline for the north-side road repairs. Starting next Monday, crews will begin the chip-sealing process on several blocks near the school. This project has been on the books since the spring thaw, and the council officially signed off on the contractor’s schedule to ensure work wraps up before the first school buses start their routes in August. While no roads will be fully closed today, expect to see surveyors marking the pavement this afternoon. It’s a necessary bit of dust and noise to keep our infrastructure from crumbling under the winter frost that—thankfully—is still months away.
