More unexpected repair costs have popped up for the Yankton County Commission. A project to add rock protection to the “Johnson Bridge” was added late last year, and now a cost sharing plan on some railroad crossings was approved.
County Commission Chairman Todd Woods says these type of costs happen every year…..https://soundcloud.com/wnax-radio/todd-woods-219a

The county will help pay for upgrades to several rail crossings on county highways. Woods says they only have to match part of those costs….https://soundcloud.com/wnax-radio/todd-woods-219b

Woods says they are concerned that they will hit their road budget before they get to all their planned projects….

Woods says they are waiting for some details of the county road planning task force that is currently meeting.
