Which bridges in Beaufort County will be closed during evacuation?

Most bridges will remain open during the storm, however the bridges to Hilton Head Island and causeways to other evacuated barrier islands in Beaufort County will be blocked to anyone attempting to re-enter before the order is lifted.

Swing bridges in the county will be unable to lift up after 25 miles per hour winds start, Kevin Turner, South Carolina Department of Transportation district 6 engineer said Friday. He said this will disrupt river traffic but not vehicle flow.

Turner did say that local authorities have the ability to close a bridge at any time throughout the process.
