The Don Holt Bridge and Cosgrove Bridge in Charleston, S.C., have reopened to traffic following closures due to icy conditions and multiple crashes on Wednesday morning. Charleston Police reported at least six accidents on the Don Holt Bridge and several on the Cosgrove Bridge, caused by black ice from freezing fog.​
Weather Impact
A National Weather Service freezing fog advisory was in effect for Charleston and Tidal Berkeley Counties until 9 a.m., warning of low visibility and possible black ice on bridges and overpasses. Forecasters recommended slowing down, using headlights, and maintaining extra distance while driving.​
Traffic Advice
Delays may persist even after reopening, with authorities suggesting alternatives like the Ravenel Bridge during peak commute times. Commuters experienced hours-long backups, stretching trips like West Ashley to Mount Pleasant to over 100 minutes in some cases. Drivers should check local traffic reports for ongoing updates.
