Old Waldron Bridge Expected To Be Fully Removed From Missouri River By End Of August

PIERRE, (KCCR) — Visible work on the new John Waldron Memorial Bridge is evident on the Pierre and Fort Pierre approaches with construction of bridge plazas under the road surfaces, but the old Waldron Bridge is still being removed and Dean VanDeWiele with the South Dakota Department of Transportation says the old bridge should be a memory in about a month…

Only two cranes remain at the work site of the bridge. At the height of construction five cranes, some supported by barges, were working to build the new Waldron bridge.
