South Dakota Highway 40A was a short spur route in the east part of Badlands National Park .


HISTORY

This route was originally part of South Dakota Highway 40 . At that time, SD 40 exited the park to the northeast, and continued east with U.S. Highway 16 .

Around 1970, SD 40 was rerouted south from the park to a new alignment south of the White River. When this was done, SD 40A was created to link with Alternate U.S. Highway 16 .

In 1976, this route was redesignated as South Dakota Highway 377 .
