SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (KELO) — There's a change happening next month that Sioux Falls area drivers need to know about.
The driver exam station at West Russell and Kiwanis will move to the east side of town.
Michelle McIntyre was at the Russell location Friday to renew her driver's license.
'I'm a teacher, so first day off of summer break, checking off the to-do list of all the errands this summer,' McIntyre said.

People needing testing and licensing services won't be coming to the Russell location much longer.
This driver exam station will soon move to the state's One Stop building on the east side of town.
'Driver's licensing is hoping to provide a more modern and better experience for customers, and moving into the One Stop with 12 other state agencies provides us the ability to do so,' Driver Licensing Program Director Jeannelle Yitagesu said.
While the new location opens to customers on Monday, June 9th, the Russell location will not be open on Friday, June 6th.
'We need some time to get our equipment from one location to the other, so we want the public to be aware of that,' Yitagesu said.
The driver exam station will have its own entrance at the One Stop building.
'Is a very nice facility, more seating, more room so you're not sitting on top of everyone else. That's going to be a nice feel for the public,' Yitagesu said.
McIntyre thinks an upgrade from the current location will be nice.
'Maybe if it was a little bit bigger, just a little bit more seating for people, I think that would be really nice,' McIntyre said.
The state also has a driver's license express station on South Minnesota Avenue.
Drivers may also be eligible to renew licenses online, by mail, or at a kiosk.
