Route description

Northern terminus at Interstate 90.

I-190 begins as West Boulevard and has an intersection with Omaha Street, which is signed as US 16/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 on-ramp 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.[2]

State law

Legally, the route of I-190 is defined at South Dakota Codified Laws § 31-4-203.[3]

History

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.[4]

The interchange with I-90 was rebuilt in the late 1990s, changing from a directional-T interchange with a left exit to a trumpet interchange. The Omaha Street intersection was rebuilt in 2004,[5] while the Silver Street interchange was converted to a single-point urban interchange in 2017.[6]

All exit numbers start with 1. The entire route is in Rapid City, Pennington County.
