        We have never had a problem, passed through today, 4/7/2015, courteous bridge tender. I too here some boaters being demanding with bridge tenders and lock masters. Being courteous to them goes a long way!

      Opens on Demand. Closures may be required every 15 minutes when vessel traffic is heavy.
      NOTE: Because of heavy traffic to two schools within a half-mile of the bridge, the bridge will not be able to turn between 7:45AM and 8:15AM on school days. All other times is “on demand” unless traffic becomes heavy, as on a weekend, then bridge closures may be required to every 15 minutes to accommodate road traffic.

        We have been across the Socastee Swing Bridge by car. It carries a 4-lane road that is very busy with local traffic during the day. Be patient with the bridge tenders here, because they have a job that make them unpopular with boaters AND THE LOCAL PEOPLE who use that bridge every day.

          Hi Ronnie,
          As you can tell by reading all the links and comments re “historic” Socastee Bridge attached to its listing, its opening schedule is a very local issue and subject to much variation. While it can be an annoyance to cruisers, you have to give the community credit for fighting for the right to be “local” and not just another high-rise concrete arch.
          There are still some of us old-timers who miss the delays, annoyances and communicating with tenders when navigating the many, now former, swing, bascule, floating, etc. bridges that once made the Waterway a place to slow down, step back in time and enjoy. Not another interstate.
          Talk to the bridge tender when you get there; they are nice folks who like their jobs and who like boaters.
          Good luck,
          Larry

        This bridge is a pain, you never know what to expect. They built a new high rise bridge next to it so I don’t understand why they cannot abide to there on demand status.

        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?
