Following a train derailment on US 21 near the Beaufort County and Hampton County line, the bridge on US 21 over the rail line is closed due to sustained damage. SCDOT engineers are assessing the extent of the damages and making a plan for reopening the overpass. We continue to coordinate closely with CSX and local officials and further details will be provided as they become available.
A signed detour route is in place and a map is included below. Drivers in the area are encouraged to plan their route in advance and follow the directional signage in place. We urge people to drive cautiously and to stay alert for workers on the roadway in the area.
