Good morning, Fort Mill.
🏘️ Community
Hikers, cyclists and equestrians have direct access to over 200 acres of trails as two new steel-truss pedestrian bridges were completed at Anne Springs Close Greenway in Fort Mill.
The $1.77 million project replaced the collapsed Steele Street road bridge and removed the aging swinging bridge—these new structures are elevated above the 100-year floodplain to improve safety and reduce environmental risks.

He taught music for 55 years at Winthrop University and co-founded the York County Choral Society—shaping the region’s musical culture.
