馃毃 Open for Traffic - Ben Sawyer Bridge
The Ben Sawyer Bridge has been safely reopened for vehicle traffic. The bridge was closed late yesterday due to a mechanical issue. Crews were able to complete the necessary temporary repairs overnight.
Officers have right two lanes of Coleman Blvd coming off the Ravenel Bridge blocked because an 18-wheeler struck a low-hanging limb and spilled its load of pumpkins.
Pumpkins are all loaded upon a new truck and off to their destination. The tow trucks are working to get the truck removed. Coleman remains blocked at the exit from the Ravenel Bridge. We appreciate your patience.
And now both lanes are blocked due to the damage to the trailer leaning into the left lane. Traffic is moving but will be slow.
