Environmental groups sue to block Lake Marion bridge project
South Carolina environmental groups file a federal lawsuit to halt a 7 mile road and 3 mile bridge over Lake Marion linking Lone Star in Calhoun County to Rimini in Sumter County. They argue the $150 million project harms wetlands and wildlife with no clear economic gain while supporters cite regional economic benefits. Representatives from the Southern Environmental Law Center lead the suit on behalf of the Wildlife Federation Coastal Conservation League and Audubon groups. They name the Transportation Department and the Federal Highway Administration as defendants citing a flawed environmental impact report.
