"In April, the City of Yankton was awarded a part of the South Dakota Transportation Commission Bridge, Improvement Grant (BIG) to help with costs associated with replacing
the aging Pine St. Bridge. The state awarded $855,000 with the city currently slated to contribute $640,000.
The 41-foot, single-span, deck, concrete arch structure with classical revival detailing was originally built in 1912 and features railings consists of spindle-shaped balusters set
off by concrete posts ornamented with recessed panels. When the bridge was built in 1912, construction cost $3,700, which is about $90,000 in today?s standards."
This was pulled from the P&D paper. It amazes me when I see numbers like these. 90,000 versus 1,495,000. I know the 90 is not realistic in todays world but it sure makes me
wonder who's pockets are getting lined with the left over 1.4 million,
