What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

The U.S. 76 bridge over Catfish Branch in Marion County officially reopened to traffic after a replacement project took several months to complete. The South Carolina Department of Transportation closed the section earlier this year to replace the aging structure, which was built in 1941 and reconstructed in 1974. The project, which cost about $7.6 million, involved constructing a new, approximately 110-foot-long bridge designed to sit three feet higher than the previous structure.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The replacement project restored the direct U.S. 76 route for drivers who had been required to use alternate routes during construction. The new design also increases water flow capacity, which is intended to reduce flooding risks in the area.
