Expect delays as broken down box truck on Hilton Head bridge jams up traffic Friday
UPDATE at 1:43 p.m.: Traffic is flowing again, according to Beaufort County Sheriff’s Office traffic cameras.
Traffic is backed up on U.S. 278 and the Bluffton Parkway because of a disabled vehicle on the Hilton Head bridge, according to the Beaufort County Sheriff’s Office.
The right lane of eastbound U.S. 278 was blocked starting at 8:15 a.m. because a box truck broke down, said Maj. Bob Bromage, Sheriff’s Office spokesman.
Motorists can expect heavy traffic and delays in the area.
Bromage said at 9:52 p.m. that the lanes are being cleared and opened up, but traffic will be backed up for awhile.
The box truck has been moved out of the road in between the two bridges.
Google Maps shows heavy traffic as far back as Simmonsville Road on U.S. 278 and nearly to Burnt Church Road on the Bluffton Parkway.
