Codington County Board of Commissioners Commissioners Meeting

The meeting featured a presentation on the 2026 county-wide bridge inspection program. Key topics included a review of bridge conditions, specifically identifying bridges in poor condition and those with weight restrictions, and the status of bridge repair and replacement projects. Discussion centered on the county's bridge replacement strategy, funding opportunities through the bridge improvement grant, and the scheduling of specific repairs, such as guardrail fixes and debris clearing to prevent scour. The board also addressed specific infrastructure projects, including the closure of a bridge on Cottonwood Street, the replacement of a box culvert on old Highway 81, and various ongoing and future bridge maintenance needs.
