Officials Discuss Reducing Lanes on Gervais Street Bridge in South Carolina
What happened
Officials are discussing a plan to reduce the lanes on the Gervais Street Bridge from four to two, potentially adding a middle turning lane. Representatives from Columbia and West Columbia met with the South Carolina Department of Transportation on October 6 to discuss potential improvements to the bridge. Any changes to the corridor would require a robust public involvement process before implementation.

Why it matters
The proposed changes aim to enhance safety and mobility between the two areas, following a fatal crash on the bridge earlier this year. The bridge is a hundred-year-old structure, and the South Carolina Department of Transportation is reviewing the design to address safety concerns.
