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.

Beaufort County residents approve $780M penny tax for roads in historic referendum

With 100% of the precincts reporting, Beaufort County residents narrowly approved a historic “penny tax” referendum by a vote of 40,951 to 39,724, a difference of 1,227 votes, preliminary results show. The 1% sales tax referendum will raise $780 million over nine years for 87 road and intersection projects. County officials have said previously that the so-called penny tax, if approved, would fund the largest transportation improvement program in the county’s history. A second ballot question was on the ballot to authorize up to $450 million in bonds to expedite work before sales tax funds begin to accumulate. The bonds would have been repaid using the additional sales tax revenue. It was approved 42,660 votes to 40,276, or 51.44% to 45.56%. During presentations on the proposal, county officials said the funding would be used for improvements to some of the region’s major traffic bottlenecks, such as Highway 170 and Highway 46 in Okatie and William Fording Island Road (U.S. 278) in Bluffton. Additionally, notoriously congested intersections would see upgrades such as turn lanes and upgraded signal lights at locations including Lady’s Island Drive/Ribaut Road in Port Royal, Spanish Wells/William Hilton Parkway on Hilton Head, and Buckwalter Parkway and Bluffton Parkway

Savannah seeks input on Tide to Town path on Montgomery Cross Road

Montgomery Cross Road is one of Savannah’s most dangerous thoroughfares. The crash rate on the corridor is 87% higher than the state average, and the injury rate is 79% higher. There is also danger for bikers and pedestrians. There were four pedestrian-related crashes between 2021 to 2025, with one resulting in a fatality. The corridor also saw 14 bike crashes and 11 injuries in the same span. But the City of Savannah is seeking to change that. The city is looking to bring the Tide to Town trail to Montgomery Cross Road and along with it, additional safety improvements for all types of transport. The city held a public engagement meeting on that vision last week that drew over 100 residents. “It’s really about getting your feedback and your engagement about how we can use these dollars that are already allocated,” said Savannah City Manager Jay Melder in a nod to the $10 million hotel-motel tax revenues devoted to Tide to Town. Background: Savannah cuts the ribbon on latest phase of Tide to Town network An online survey, paired with the city's presentation from the Oct. 20 meeting, is available online for residents to provide input through Nov. 4.
