across the country come to Augusta for theMasters each year is
common knowledge.

Laurens Streetbridge closesdue to erosion
Erosion damage to the Laurens Streetbridge on Colleton Avenue
from Sunday
evenings rain willkeep the bridge closedfor repairs for an
indef-inite period of time.
The South CarolinaDepartment of Trans-portation closed thebridge
Monday morn-ing because of a par-
tial failure of the bridge, according to JeffTerry, a resident
construction engineer forAiken County.
It looks like part of the earth embank-ment either washed or
collapsed or both andfell out from under the end of the support
ofthe bridge, Terry said. Right now, weretrying to figure out how
to stabilize it andkeep any further damage from occurring.
Terry could not speculate on how long thebridge might need to be
closed.
Were just getting started with the pro-
cess right now, he said. Well have todevelop a plan for
addressing where we gofrom here.
The area around South Boundary Avenueand Laurens Street is
closed, except to localtraffic, and detour signs have been posted
inthe area directing traffic down Park Avenueand Chesterfield
Street to reach SouthBoundary Avenue and avoid the bridge,according
to Aiken Public Safety.
