Socastee Swing Bridge Opens to Traffic Following Emergency Repairs

Officials with the South Carolina Department of Transportation announced today that the Socastee Swing Bridge is open to traffic ahead of schedule following emergency repairs after a collision with the structure.

The bridge was closed June 12 following a collision. The collision caused major damage to the bridge, including a section of the support structure.


The bridge is now open to both vehicular and marine traffic. SCDOT appreciates the patience from our community members while this critical work was completed.
