Route description

South Dakota Highway 115 begins at an intersection with US 18 west of Canton and heads due north through rural Lincoln County. The highway runs just east of Worthing and about a mile west of Harrisburg, South Dakota. Three miles north of the Harrisburg intersection, SD 115 intersects 85th Street and enters Sioux Falls from the south. It runs along Minnesota Avenue in the southern portion of Sioux Falls and enters Minnehaha County upon crossing 57th Street. Just south of 41st Street, SD 115 meets Interstate 229. SD 115 travels farther north through the downtown section of Sioux Falls, meeting SD 42 eastbound at 11th Street and westbound at 10th Street. North of downtown Sioux Falls, the route turns east on Benson Road, then north again on Cliff Avenue. It then meets Interstate 90 just before exiting Sioux Falls.[1]

North of Sioux Falls, SD 115 travels through rural, sparsely populated areas of Minnehaha County. It passes through Renner and east of Baltic before entering Dell Rapids. In Dell Rapids, the highway turns west at 4th Street and travels about three miles west to its terminus at Interstate 29.[1]
