 Columbia and West Columbia are partnering on an $8.5 million project. The two cities will build a pedestrian bridge over the Saluda River. The bridge is expected to be 12 feet wide with several scenic overlooks and parking lots on either side of the bridge. And officials are working to remove derelict boats from Clowder Creek. South Carolina Representative Mark Smith and the City of Charleston are helping fund the effort to remove the multiple abandoned barges obstructing the waterway.
