LIVE BRIDGE STATUS

TheBridge monitors live video feeds with AI to detect bridge openings within seconds. When a bridge starts to open, TheBridge alerts you before traffic backs up — so you can take a different route, pull over, or just enjoy watching the boats go by.

INSTANT PUSH NOTIFICATIONS

Get notified the moment a bridge starts opening. Pick which bridges you want alerts for. Set quiet hours so you're not woken up at 3 AM. Notifications include the bridge name, status, and estimated reopen time.

BRIDGE OPENING HISTORY

See when bridges typically open during the day. Spot patterns. Plan your commute. TheBridge tracks every opening so you can predict the next one.

COMMUNITY REPORTS

Sometimes our cameras miss something. That's where you come in. Tap "Open" or "Closed" when you're at a bridge and your report helps every other user in the area. The more people use TheBridge, the smarter TheBridge gets.

TIDE TIMES

Built-in tide times for every bridge location. Know when the tide is rolling in or out — useful for boaters, anglers, and anyone planning a day on the water.

EVENTS

Discover what's happening around the Lowcountry — concerts, festivals, markets, and local happenings in Beaufort and Charleston.

WHY THEBRIDGE

Made in the Lowcountry, for the Lowcountry. TheBridge was built by someone who got stuck at the Woods Memorial Bridge one too many times. Now it covers Charleston too — and we're not stopping there. If your town has a drawbridge, we want to add it.

TheBridge. Know before you go.
