For those of you that plan transiting under the Ravenel bridge this Saturday, 5 April 0730-0930, you can’t. BRIDGE RUN.

(**(), I can understand cutting if off a couple hundred yards like to the north, but they’re going pretty far to the south.

As a runner, I think that’s overkill.

so much for the land of the free & the home of the brave

wait until the bike riders get their way and get their own lane across the bridge will the traffic stop until all is cleared

hmm, live 5 makes out like you can get through, & that this may actually involve some common sense

“security zone will reach from 200 yards north of the Ravenel Bridge extending south to a line between the Charleston Maritime Center and the USS Yorktown. The zone will take effect from 7:30 a.m. to 9:30 a.m”

“During this time, people and vessels will not be able to enter, pass through, anchor, or remain within the security zone unless authorized by the Coast Guard</font id=“red”></font id=“size3”>”

I interpret that to mean the Coasties will probably let you through if you need to get through

They must be worried that a pressure cooker on a boat might bring down the whole bridge.

You’d have to boat in one hell of an explosive to take that bridge down…

It’s just my opinion, but I don’t think closing that area for 2 hours for an event that brings over $18 million to our local economy is “so much for the land of free…”. Deal with it. There are plenty of other places on the water in the Charleston area. And I own a boat so I have a vested interest in the conversation.
