Hurricane Helene swept through the Carolinas

Hurricane Helene swept through the Carolinas

June 1, 2026
When Hurricane Helene swept through the Carolinas, it left behind more than floodwaters. It damaged critical infrastructure that communities depend on every day.
We were honored when the SCDOT selected Wright Brothers to deliver Bridge Package 31, a collection of four emergency bridge replacement projects in Greenville and Spartanburg Counties. The package included bridges on South Hudson Street at Unity Park, West Washington Street along the Swamp Rabbit Trail, New Cut Road, and the pedestrian bridge at Jones Gap State Park.
As our first project with SCDOT, this work represented an exciting opportunity to demonstrate the capabilities that have defined Wright Brothers across the Southeast for decades. Our teams worked alongside SCDOT and local stakeholders to safely remove damaged structures, construct new bridges, and restore critical connections for residents, businesses, and visitors.
Today, all four bridges are back open and serving their communities with upgraded safety features and renewed resilience. While every bridge is unique, they all share a common purpose: connecting people to the places that matter most.
We're proud to have played a role in South Carolina's recovery efforts and grateful for the opportunity to partner with SCDOT on this important milestone project.
