JASPER COUNTY, S.C. (WSAV) - Growth in Jasper County is leading to infrastructure concerns, and now the South Carolina Department of Transportation (SCDOT) is getting involved.

Drivers said a bridge on South Carolina 462 that crosses over Euhaw Creek at the Ridgeland town line is being inundated with traffic, and it can't handle the volume.

"Everything coming from Beaufort and Bluffton and Hilton Head is coming this way. So, it's kind of congested, and it's dangerous right here by the church," Earl Busby, a local resident, said. "The bridge and all that need to be done over."

Right now, there are weight limits for the bridge over Euhaw Creek, and there is signage letting people know that the roadway narrows.

However, there is no shortage of cars, trucks or buses that travel over it.
