Capital Improvement Projects

The City of Brandon is currently undertaking a range of capital improvement projects focused on upgrading infrastructure, supporting growth, and improving safety and connectivity throughout the community. Major efforts include large-scale street and utility reconstruction projects, such as the ongoing core area improvements, as well as neighborhood upgrades and planned expansions like the Ironwood Street Extension. In addition, the city continues to invest in annual maintenance projects like street resurfacing and sidewalk repairs to preserve existing infrastructure. Alongside construction, Brandon is conducting forward-looking planning studies—such as the Aspen Boulevard Corridor Study, to address future traffic needs, enhance mobility, and guide long-term development as the city grows. Together, these projects represent a coordinated effort to modernize infrastructure, improve quality of life, and prepare for continued population and economic growth.

Aspen Boulevard Corridor Study

The City of Brandon has initiated a corridor study on Aspen Boulevard from SD Hwy 11/Splitrock Blvd through the 484^th Avenue/Minnehaha County 109 intersection. This is a planning study that will look at the existing Aspen Boulevard roadway and intersections, existing and future traffic volumes, pedestrian access, and other items that will help plan for future needs and improvements to the corridor to accommodate growth on the south and east sides of the City of Brandon. This corridor includes the Chestnut Blvd and Sunshine Ave intersections that will be initial and potential future routes to the new Burkman Valley Elementary School.
