The South Carolina Department of Transportation (SCDOT) is moving forward with a bridge replacement project in Newberry County that will provide a safer and more reliable crossing over the Bush River while improving access for residents and emergency responders in the area.

The project involves replacing the aging bridge carrying S-244 (Counts Sausage Road) over the Bush River southeast of Newberry. According to SCDOT, the existing structure has reached the end of its service life and is subject to weight restrictions that limit its ability to accommodate modern traffic demands.
