The swing bridge being closed for 5 1/2 hours during the day is seriously impeding traffic flow along the Beaufort (SC) ICW and was extremely detrimental to our (Lady’s Island Marina) transient business during the 2015 spring migration. I wonder if whoever made the decision [to curtail bridge openings] considered the impact on transient boat traffic thru Beaufort. Did they put it out for discussion before making the decision?
