An underwater inspection of the Meridian Bridge over the Missouri River didn’t find any major issues.
Yankton City Manager Amy Nelson says the results of the inspection, paid for by the state, came back to them last week….

Nelson says the underwater study doesn’t tell them much about the carrying capacity of the bridge…..

Nelson says the city should be ready to pay for a full inspection in the next five years…..

Nelson says a full structural load inspection of the bridge could cost several hundred thousand dollars.
