The Meridian Bridge is a historic structure located in South Dakota, spanning the Missouri River. Completed in 1924, it was originally built to connect the cities of Yankton and Vermillion. The bridge is notable for its unique design, featuring a cantilevered truss style that allows for both vehicle and pedestrian traffic. In 2008, the bridge was closed to vehicular traffic and underwent renovations to enhance its safety and accessibility. Today, it serves as a scenic walkway, offering stunning views of the river and surrounding landscape, making it a popular spot for both locals and tourists.
