UPDATE: SCDOT scraps plans to close and repair bridge. What we know

Editor’s note: This story has been updated since the South Carolina Department of Transportation changed its plans. The S.C. Department of Transportation (SCDOT) has reversed this weekend’s work to repair the J.E. McTeer Bridge, or the Lady’s Island Bridge. The change in plans was communicated to the Island Packet and Beaufort Gazette via email as well as a post to the department’s website. Work was expected to start tonight at 7 p.m. A supply-chain issue is the reason for cancellation. SCDOT will reschedule the work and notify the public when materials for the bridge repairs are received. Repairs were expected to be finished by Monday morning as SCDOT planned to work “around-the-clock.” SCDOT planned to close the left lane of southbound U.S. 21 on the Lady’s Island Bridge to repair expansion joints in the bridge, according to a previous press release. Many drivers see the gaps in the bridge as “lines,” but those lines are actually gaps between bridge decking that allows for expansion and contraction. This story will be updated as new information comes in.

Cases of this drug-resistant disease climb in SC. Here's the best defense

South Carolina has recorded more cases of shigellosis, a drug-resistant disease spread through contaminated food, water or sexual contact, than at this point last year. Health officials say the numbers have been dropping since a July peak and there is no cause for alarm. FULL STORY: Sexually transmitted, drug-resistant disease reported in SC. Latest case counts Here are key takeaways: The South Carolina Public Health Department reported 165 shigellosis cases so far this year, up from 135 during the same period in 2025. Most patients were adult men ages 18 to 49. “Currently, there are no outbreaks or reasons for the public to have increased concern,” a health department spokesperson said. Cases peaked in July and have declined since. Shigella spreads through contaminated food or water, close contact or sexual activity. The CDC says swallowing even a small amount of the germs, which are found in feces, can make someone sick. Symptoms include diarrhea, stomach cramps and fever, typically starting a day or two after exposure and lasting about a week. A person can remain infectious for up to two more weeks after symptoms end. Nationally, shigellosis causes an estimated 450,000 infections a year, with about 242,000 resistant to antibiotics
