8 P.M. UPDATE – Service Advisory No.4|
Lanes have reopened on the Ravenel Bridge and routes are returning to regular schedules. Riders should check back periodically for updates on potential route disruptions if ice issues occur as temperatures rise during the day on Sunday (1.23.22).
Service Advisory No.4| Saturday, Jan. 22nd, 6:00 p.m.
All Northbound lanes of the Ravenel Bridge and the 2 inside Southbound lanes are currently closed to traffic due to falling ice from the suspension cables. In order to be as efficient as possible to transport our passengers around Mt. Pleasant and to Downtown while the bridge is closed routes 30/40 and 41 will run as follows:
- Rt. 41 will run only in Mt. Pleasant on a detour until the bridge reopens. It will also stop at Towne Center as a transfer point to the Rt. 40 vehicles that will be traveling downtown.
- Rt. 30/40 has three vehicles dedicated to it. One bus will circulate as Route 30 only. Using Towne Center as a transfer point, passengers can transfer from Rt. 41 to the other two Rt. 40 buses that will travel back and forth to the Downtown area via I526 until the bridge reopens.
Expect some delays on these routes until the bridge has reopened and service returns to normal.
