Weeds about to cover Morgan Chapel bridge

To the editor:
We are about to have a dangerous situation at the new bridge where Morgan Chapel Road crosses over Pacolet River, where it meets River Road.
A lot of time and money has gone into the beautification, safety and driving convenience in this area but now so many weeds have grown up at the end of the bridge until it’s hard to see.
At night you can make out headlights of cars coming up River Road but during the day you have enough visibility to get from the end of the bridge to the scene of the crash.
Then you have two drivers end up in the driver’s seat of a Fordrolet. That’s when a Ford broadsides a Chevrolet in a neat little fireball.
The state, or whoever the responsible party, is can eliminate this problem with an inexpensive weed eater.
