Interstate 190 (I-190) is an auxiliary Interstate Highway in the US state of South Dakota. The route runs for about two miles (3.2 km) connecting I-90 to downtown Rapid City. The entire route is concurrent with US Highway 16 (US 16). It is the westernmost auxiliary route of I-90 (approximately 1,190 miles [1,920 km] east of the highway's western terminus in Seattle, Washington) and its only auxiliary route west of the Mississippi River.
Route description
[edit]
I-190 begins as West Boulevard and has an intersection with Omaha Street, which is signed as US 16/South Dakota Highway 44 (SD 44). US 16 westbound goes east on Omaha Street and eastbound runs north concurrently with I-190. I-190 then becomes a freeway, with an exit to North Street. I-190 then passes under Anamosa Street before an onramp from the northbound lanes of West Boulevard. Both US 16 and I-190 then terminate at a trumpet interchange with I-90/US 14/SD 79.[3]
State law
[edit]Legally, the route of I-190 is defined at South Dakota Codified Laws § 31-4-203.[4]
History
[edit]A freeway replacing West Bypass to connect downtown Rapid City to I-90 was proposed by the city government.[5] The designation of I-190 for this connector was approved by the American Association of State Highway Officials in November 1958.[2]
I-190 was opened in 1962 to connect Rapid City to the recently completed I-90 bypass, which was built outside of Rapid City's northern boundaries.[6]
The interchange with I-90 was rebuilt from 2000 to 2001, changing from a directional T interchange with a left exit to a trumpet interchange.[7][8][9] The Omaha Street intersection was rebuilt in 2004,[10] while the North Street interchange was converted to a single-point urban interchange in 2017.[11]
Exit list
[edit]The entire route is in Rapid City, Pennington County.
