Troubled bridges over county waters

A new study has ranked Lancaster County’s bridges some of the worst in South Carolina. 

According to a AAA Carolinas study released earlier this month, which evaluates and ranks the state’s top substandard bridges on an annual basis, Lancaster County had the second highest percentage of substandard bridges in the state, at 40 percent. 

Charleston County edged out Lancaster County for the top spot, at 42 percent, with Edgefield (34 percent) and Aiken (31 percent) trailing close behind.
