Beaufort run to close swing bridge Saturday. How to navigate the traffic and race

S.C. Department of Transportation (SCDOT) wants drivers to be aware of the closure of the Richard V. Woods Memorial Bridge on Business U.S. 21 for nearly three hours. The 2026 Swing Bridge Run 5K takes place Saturday and 5k runners will go back and forth across Beaufort’s historic and iconic swing bridge. Closure of the Woods Bridge, locally called the swing bridge, will start at 7:15 a.m. and last until 9:45 a.m. It will affect all marine navigation including tugs and tugs with tows, according to a press release issued by SCDOT. Cars and trucks will also not be allowed to travel across the metal-riveted truss bridge that connects historic downtown Beaufort to Lady’s Island. If drivers can’t wait out the race, the most convenient way to get across the Beaufort River is to stay on Lady’s Island Drive (U.S. 21 north) driving over the J.E. McTeer Bridge that connects with Ribaut Road into the Town of Port Royal near Beaufort. Swing Bridge Run course and registration The USA Track & Field-certified Swing Bridge Run starts and finishes on Bay Street across from the Best Western Seaside Inn and in front of the downtown marina parking lot.

Port Royal will close Paris Avenue from the Parker’s gas station at the corner of Ribaut Road to Coast Roast Coffee from Sunday, Nov. 8, to Wednesday, Nov. 11.

Here are the key Nov. 3 General Election results for Beaufort, Jasper and Hampton counties

In Beaufort, Jasper and Hampton counties, and around the Palmetto State, the Nov. 3 General Election was not just about red or blue, candidates and numbers - the hot-button issues at stake ranged from environmental protection and crime prevention to property tax relief and educational improvements.

State and national election results at a glance With only two precincts yet to report, Republicans for the most part appeared to sweep the statewide elections — by narrow margins — but suffered losses in the national Congressional races.
