526 Update 2: Temporary Change to WWT Reefer Gate Hours Announced

May 15, 2018

The cut-off time for reefer gates at Wando Welch Terminal will be 2200 today and tomorrow (Tuesday 5/15 and Wednesday 5/16).

Below is the latest information on WWT gates:

WWT Tuesday 5/15:
? Gates open 0600 - 2300.
? Reefer cut-off 2200.

WWT Wednesday 5/16 and until further notice:
? Gates open 0900 - 1600.
? Gates closed 1600 - 1800.
? Gates reopen 1800 - 2300.
? Reefer cut-off for Wednesday 5/16 will be 2200. Reefer cut-off for subsequent days is still to be determined.

When the shift to 0900 gate opening occurs on Wednesday, truckers need to remain off the approach roads to the Wando Welch Terminal, including Long Point Road, until the gates open at 0900.

North Charleston Terminal will have REGULAR GATE HOURS (0600 - 1800) and no extended gates are planned.

The adjustment to WWT gates is being driven by the closure of westbound Interstate 526 at the Wando River bridge. The length of time needed for repairs is unknown at this time. Please keep in mind, this is an evolving situation and gates hours may be adjusted as traffic patterns dictate.

Thanks for your business with the South Carolina Ports Authority and for your patience while we work through the impacts of this road closure.
