A section of Henry C. Chambers Waterfront Park is closed due to structural issues, affecting the day dock and playground.

A 40-foot section of Henry C. Chambers Waterfront Park in Beaufort, South Carolina, has been closed due to structural issues found by engineers. The closure affects the day dock and playground as well. The issue was discovered after engineers found significant deterioration and overstressed piles in the platform. This closure happens just before the Beaufort Water Festival, but organizers assure all events will continue as planned with barriers and signs to prevent trespassing.
