"I think the biggest thing is just patience," chief communication officer for Fort Mill Schools, Joe Burke said.

South Carolina Department of Transportation decided the most efficient way to make all the necessary repairs to the bridge, is to shut down the southbound side of I-77 between Sutton Road in Fort Mill and Cherry Road in Rock Hill. All southbound traffic will be directed to the northbound side of I-77 during the repairs.

"Unfortunately what that means for us, is there is going to be heavier traffic on our traditional streets especially in the morning and afternoons when parents are picking up and dropping off students," Burke said. #WakeUpCLT #CLTTraffic #RockHill
