South Carolina transportation officials report that more than 300 roads and bridges are still closed over a week after rain and floods struck the cities and surrounding areas of Charleston and Columbia, S.C.
The South Carolina Department (SCDOT) also said 98 bridges remain closed to inspect damage to bridge supports.
Crews are working to repair 13 small bridges on Interstate 95 in Clarendon County. A 16-mile-stretch remains closed where the major East Coast highway goes through lowlands and swamps and over the Black and Pocotaligo rivers.
SCDOT is aiming to have I-95 reopened in a few days. Drivers on I-95 currently have to take a 168-mile detour through Columbia instead of the normal 74-mile drive from Interstate 26 to Interstate 20.
SCDOT has a complete list of updated road and bridge closures.
