South Dakota Highway 34 is a state route that runs across the entire state of South Dakota . It begins at the Wyoming border west of Belle Fourche , as a continuation of Wyoming Highway 24 . The eastern terminus is at the Minnesota border east of Egan where it continues as Minnesota State Highway 30 . It is 431 miles (694 kilometers) in length. HISTORY When first implemented in 1926, the western terminus was at South Dakota Highway 45 near Gann Valley . In the 1940's and early 1950's, a road was gradually built from Pierre to SD 45 via Fort Thompson , and SD 34 was extended west along it upon its completion. A further extension westward occurred in 1961, when SD 34 absorbed the alignment of South Dakota Highway 24 . In the late 1960's, a portion of SD 34 (along with U.S. Highway 14 ) was upgraded as part of the construction of Interstate 90 . The segment between Whitewood and Sturgis (exits 23 and 30) remains signed with I-90 and U.S. 14. A 10 mile segment of SD 34 in Sanborn County has been upgraded to 4 lanes. This is part of a 4-lane route from Huron to Mitchell via South Dakota Highway 37 .
