Sioux Falls battles wear & tear on the city's roads

Chris Laughery

This interview originally aired on In the Moment on SDPB Radio.

Every South Dakota spring is rough on roads and streets. The freeze-thaw cycles common in the season can create potholes, cracks, buckling and more. An unusually harsh winter can make a bad situation worse.

We talk to Dustin Hansen, Sioux Falls' street operations manager, about the challenges of road repair this time of year. Are there smoother roads ahead?
