This is an historic bridge which crosses the Missouri River from Nebraska to South Dakota and leads right into down town Yankton. It was originally a pontoon single lane bridge, then it became a two lane draw bridge which could be raised and lowered depending upon river traffic. Many years ago a second, lower deck was added with one way traffic on each deck. Now it is badly in need of repair and has far exceeding its projected lifetime. As plans go forward to put in a new bridge further up the river, a restoration group is trying to save the Meridian bridge as a walking bridge. This is just one more bit of history which may disappear and this possibility makes me sad.
