STURGIS, S.D. – Beginning tomorrow, Friday, July 31, 2026, City of Sturgis Public Works crews will begin installing temporary traffic control devices throughout Sturgis in preparation for the 86th Annual Sturgis Motorcycle Rally. Over the coming days, motorists should expect changes to traffic patterns, lane shifts, temporary signage, barricades, and other traffic control measures as we prepare to safely welcome hundreds of thousands of visitors to our community. Sturgis Public Works and Law Enforcement ask everyone to: Slow down and use extra caution. Watch for changing traffic patterns and posted signs. Be alert for City crews working along roadways. Allow a little extra travel time as traffic control measures are put into place. Share via: Facebook Twitter LinkedIn More
