Out of an abundance of caution, the South Carolina Department of Transportation has closed Forest Drive in the area of the bridge over Gills Creek in Richland County due to rising water levels.
The bridge will reopen when the water recedes to a safe level. Updates will be posted on the SCDOT website and social media.
SCDOT encourages drivers to stay inside during the storm if possible. Motorists should slow down and pay attention to signs and crews if travel is necessary and never drive through standing water.
