Drivers in Charleston, South Carolina, should be ready for delays if they plan to use the Cosgrove Bridge this Sunday. The temporary disruption is due to scheduled maintenance work, which may slow down traffic during the day.
Lane Closures Planned on Cosgrove Bridge
According to Dominion Energy, lane closures will take place from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. between April 18 and April 19. During this time, crews will carry out routine maintenance and inspect a natural gas line on the bridge.
Because of this work, some parts of the bridge will be temporarily closed, and traffic will be reduced.
What Drivers Should Expect
If you are travelling through the area, here’s what you need to know:
- Traffic lanes will be reduced and merged
- Vehicles may move slower than usual
- Delays are likely, especially during busy hours
- I-26 exits will remain open and unaffected
Even though the exits won’t be impacted, the reduced lanes on the bridge can still cause congestion.
Advice for Commuters
To avoid stress and save time, drivers are advised to:
- Start their journey a bit earlier than usual
- Use alternate routes if possible
- Drive carefully through the work zone
- Follow traffic signs and instructions from workers
Planning ahead can make your travel smoother and help you avoid long waiting times.
