COLUMBIA, S.C. (WACH, AP) -- A bridge in Columbia is reopened after heavy rain caused a barge holding a construction crane to shift, threatening the structure and forcing authorities to close the bridge Tuesday.
Authorities shut down the bridge that carries U.S. Highway 176 over the Broad River Tuesday evening as a precaution. It was re-opened Thursday morning.
Officials say the bridge was closed until crews could check it and the barge Wednesday to see if there could be any danger to the public.
