CHARLESTON, S.C. – Drivers headed to Johns Island faced delays Tuesday morning after a dump truck spilled gravel on the Limehouse Bridge, according to the Charleston Police Department.
Gravel Spill on Main Road Toward Johns Island
The incident occurred on Main Road, leading toward Johns Island, during the busy morning commute. While police did not close the bridge, they urged all drivers to slow down and use caution while passing through the area.
“Cleanup crews are being notified to remove the debris from the road,” said Charleston Police in a statement.
No Timeline for Cleanup Provided
As of now, no specific timeline has been announced for when the gravel will be fully removed. Authorities are continuing to monitor the area and coordinate with cleanup crews.
