While the I-526 westbound bridge over the Wando River remains closed, SCDOT is making immediate repairs. There are alternate routes west from the terminal, and the eastbound lanes to the terminal remain open. While traffic is heavy, it is moving. We have been encouraged by gate activity over the past several days and appreciate the dedication and patience of all those in the Charleston port community, including our customers and motor carriers.
Additional information will be provided as it becomes available.
Thanks for your business with the South Carolina Ports Authority.
