The Little River Swing Bridge carries Sea Mountain Highway over the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway at Little River, near the North Carolina line. This historic swing span is a familiar landmark for the Grand Strand's fishing fleet and waterway travelers.
One of the older swing bridges still serving the South Carolina coast, the Little River crossing pivots open on signal for vessels moving along the Intracoastal Waterway. It anchors the waterfront in Little River's historic fishing village.
