85 southbound lanes have re-opened
By Dick Mangrum,
2026-08-10By 9:30 this morning, public safety responders were able to re-open the southbound I-85 lanes to Georgia. This followed a tractor-trailer accident around 6:30 this morning on the bridge connecting Georgia and South Carolina. Chief Wilkerson of the Fair Play Fire Department reported a tractor-trailer hit a guardrail, and part of the tractor lay partially over the side of the bridge. The vehicle’s fuel tank erupted, creating a spill of diesel that will require a cleanup in the Lake Hartwell water below the bridge. No one was hurt. According to the South Carolina Highway patrol, the driver was charged with too fast for conditions. One lane of I-85 southbound was closed for about 90 minutes.
