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.

Did grounded flights affect South Carolina, Clemson weekend sports games?

The Federal Aviation Administration issued a rare nationwide ground stoppage on Friday, pausing all departing flights “due to extraordinary circumstances and for reasons of safety.” It was only the third such stoppage this century. The ground stoppage was issued at 3:54 p.m. and lifted late Friday. Here’s how it impacted weekend sports events for Clemson and South Carolina athletics. National officials said the ground stoppage is related to a telecommunications error and wasn’t related to a cyberattack or anything “nefarious,” per Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin. Planes already in the sky at the time of the stoppage will land at their final destinations, the FAA said Friday.
