SD 28 begins at an intersection with U.S. Route 281 (387th Avenue) west of Hitchcock. This intersection, on the line of northwestern Beadle County and southwestern Spink County, is also the eastern terminus of County Road 2 (CR 2; 190th Street). SD 28 takes 190th Street to the east, along the county line. East of 390th Avenue, it enters the northern part of Hitchcock. Just west of 391st Avenue (the southern terminus of CR 13 and the northern terminus of CR 11), it leaves the city limits of Hitchcock. Between 397th and 398th avenues, it crosses over the James River. The highway then intersects SD 37 (400th Avenue). Just east of 402nd Avenue, it crosses over Foster Creek.

National Highway System

edit

The only part of SD 28 that is included as part of the National Highway System, a system of routes determined to be the most important for the nation's economy, mobility and defense, is the small portion concurrent with US 81 near Lake Norden.[2]

History

edit

SD 28 was established between 1932 and 1935. At that time, it replaced SD 26 and extended from SD 25 west of Bryant to US 77 east of Estelline. In the mid-1950s, it was extended westward.[where?] An extension further to the west, to SD 45 north of Miller, may have been signed briefly, but was not indicated as such by 1970. Between 1948 and 1953, it was extended eastward to the Minnesota state line.
