    • Confused Opening Schedule at the Socastee Bridge (Statute Mile 371)

      Why am I not surprised that there is confusion about the Socastee swing bridge opening schedule. What else can you expect from a span that should have been removed the minute the adjacent high-rise bridge was completed!

      Subject: Socastee Bridge Opening
      Cruising News: Two weeks ago, having seen your comments that the opening of the Socastee bridge is now "On Demand" versus every half hour, I rang the Bridge for myself and they confirmed that that was the case except maybe during school hours.We were due to go down that next weekend and the Operator told me it would be an "On Demand" schedule. We transited south last week and when we got to the bridge, we requested an opening and were told it would open in 15 minutes. On the way back up north, we were told that it would open in 10 minutes. I called the Bridge and asked what the policy was and this Operator told me that the Bridge will open again 15 minutes after it last closed. So, I guess it's a semi on demand process, but certainly confusing. Maybe you could clarify the policy for everyone!
