Nearly 180-Year-Old Bridge Being Rebuilt in South Carolina
Monday, August 31st, 2020
On a rainy evening in early July, a toppled tree turned an already unusual summer at Magnolia Plantation and Gardens into a much more challenging one.
A week of heavy rain brought a large maple crashing down on the site’s historic Long White Bridge, taking out most of the railing, warping the deck and creating major structural cracks. After an assessment of the damage, it was clear a major rebuild was in order.
