**UPDATE: The reopening of the bridges has been delayed while SCDOT inspects safety guard rails due to multiple vehicle strikes earlier this morning. We will update with a new reopening. ETA when we are provided one.***

We have been in communication with the SC Highway Patrol and they hope to have the US 17 bridges reopened fully within the next 45 minutes. Expect delays to extend beyond that point as traffic flow works towards normal patterns.

Join Careteam Plus for World AIDS Day 2025 Reflection on Monday, December 1st at 6pm. The event will start with a FREE showing of the movie “Philadelphia” at Theatre of the Republic followed by a Candlelight Walk & Vigil at the Conway Riverwalk in observance of World AIDS Day. We will be handing out roses at the Theatre of the Republic before the Candlelight Walk & Vigil.

The prevention team is acknowledging Family Caregivers and Native American Heritage—two communities whose strength and traditions remind us that prevention begins at home, in families, and within generations.
When one person reaches out to support another, they are helping reduce the risks that can lead to substance misuse, isolation, or despair.
Native American communities have long shown how stories, connection, and shared responsibility form powerful protective factors.
If you or someone you love needs resources, we are here to listen, guide, and support. Prevention is possible because of people like you.
