On Monday afternoon, traffic on the Don Holt Bridge in Charleston, South Carolina, slowed down significantly after multiple crashes caused lane closures in both directions. The accidents created major delays for drivers trying to navigate the busy bridge.
Crashes on I-526 East and West
The first crash occurred on I-526 east near the Virginia Avenue exit at mile marker 20, where two right lanes were closed to allow for emergency response and cleanup. Shortly after, another crash took place on I-526 west, also near the same area, resulting in at least one lane closure in that direction as well.
Traffic Delays and Impact
The combination of lane closures on both sides of I-526 caused traffic to back up for miles, with drivers facing slow-moving conditions. The closures lasted for a significant period, making travel along the Don Holt Bridge and surrounding areas challenging for commuters.
The crashes on the Don Holt Bridge serve as a reminder of the potential dangers on busy highways and the importance of being cautious while driving. Authorities worked quickly to clear the scenes, but delays persisted throughout the afternoon. Drivers are encouraged to stay updated on traffic conditions and plan accordingly to avoid further congestion.
