Route description

Southern segment

Lyman and Stanley Counties

SD 1806 begins at the northern terminus of SD 273 in Lyman County and begins heading northwest. The route remains a two lane road and follows the Missouri River, heading towards Pierre. As it nears Pierre, the route becomes concurrent with US 83 and enters Fort Pierre. At the north end of Fort Pierre, US 83 becomes concurrent with US 14 heading east while SD 1806 splits from US 83 and becomes concurrent with US 14 and SD 34 for nearly a mile, heading west from the Deadwood Street and Yellowstone Street intersection. After one mile of concurrency, SD 1806 splits from US 14/SD 34 and heads north, passing by the Fort Pierre Chouteau National Historic Landmark and remaining parallel with the Missouri River. It then passes by Lake Oahe, intersecting the west end of SD 204 which passes over the Oahe Dam. SD 1806 continues west and remains parallel with the Missouri River until reaching Sansarc Road. The route continues northwest and ends at an intersection with Minneconjou Road south of Mission Ridge.

History

A portion of SD 1806 near Lake Oahe was numbered as SD 514. It was later redesignated into parts of SD 1804, SD 204, and part of today's portion of SD 1806.
