If so, reports are that you are busted. Facebook has a report and pictures of I-90 traffic backed up to Murdo which is 162 miles from Sturgis. Folks might make it to Wall Drug for water.

uh
First, it wasn't backed up all the way to Murdo. It was the bottle neck in the construction zone. They were running head to head traffic from Murdo to east of 1880 town. That was the backup. Granted traffic was heavy for 400 miles in any direction, the perspective is limited in this instance.
Most of the traffic is pickups pulling trailers and RVs. The traffic between Rapid and Sturgis has been obnoxious since last Saturday. Each day this week it's been worse. I thank my lucky stars that I am working east and south this week.
Question from someone considering a relocation- during Sturgis week, how much extra tourism does it bring into Custer, Hot Springs, etc?
You'll see more bikes and trailers. However, nowhere near the disruption the interstate and norther hills will face. Sturgis, Spearfish, Lead-Deadwood, and Piedmont have the most traffic and dispution to life.
hill City, keystone and others will have lots of traffic but it seems to move.
Even in eastern SD, Hwy 50 today was full of lots of bikes and bikers of various kinds going west, and RVs too. If I were inclined to go (which I'm not) I'd sure choose riding west on 18 over boring old 90.
