YANKTON, S.D.(WNAX)- The state Department of Transportation hosted an open house update on the West Yankton Traffic Study last Thursday night.

D.O.T. Engineer Steve Gramm says they are working with Yankton County on the study.

The study focuses on the area between the City of Yankton and Lewis & Clark Lake. Gramm says it’s a unique area.

Gramm says they hope to have some plans sometime next year.

The plan could include road and access changes, frontage roads or other options to improve traffic flow in the area.
