The Missouri River passes eastward beneath Yankton's Meridian Bridge. Completed in 1924, the bridge helped to complete the International Meridian Highway, now known as Highway 81, which still routes motorists between Mexico and Canada. Having served as the
capital of Dakota Territory from 1861 to 1883, Yankton remains an integral part of Missouri River history.
