    That’s according to a South Carolina Department of Transportation report from Friday morning. The agency also says 125 bridges remain closed.

    Road and bridges in at least 26 counties have been affected.

    Thirteen miles of Interstate 95 are still closed in Clarendon County. And officials continue to worry about the bridges over the Black and Pocotaglio rivers along the highway.

    There are additional restrictions on other sections of I-95 between I-26 and I-20.
