History
Like virtually all state spanning stretches of the United States Interstate Highways, I-95 in South Carolina was constructed in various stages, mainly from north-to-south, from 1965 to 1980, which includes the 1968-built Lake Marion Bridge. The first traffic rolled along the highway from Dillon to Turbeville in 1968, finally able to cross the Savannah River south of Hardeeville by 1981.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“The history of the world is the record of the weakness, frailty and death of public opinion.”
—Samuel Butler (1835–1902)
“When the landscape buckles and jerks around, when a dust column of debris rises from the collapse of a block of buildings on bodies that could have been your own, when the staves of history fall awry and the barrel of time bursts apart, some turn to prayer, some to poetry: words in the memory, a stained book carried close to the body, the notebook scribbled by hand—a center of gravity.”
—Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)
“... that there is no other way,
That the history of creation proceeds according to
Stringent laws, and that things
Do get done in this way, but never the things
We set out to accomplish and wanted so desperately
To see come into being.”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)
