The Silas N. Pearman Memorial Bridge was a cantilever bridge that crossed the Cooper River in Charleston, South Carolina. It opened in 1966 to relieve traffic on the companion John P. Grace Memorial Bridge. At the time it carried 3 lanes US 17 northbound traffic until the Grace bridge could not carry truck and making one of the lanes southbound permanently. Both bridges were replaced by the Arthur Ravenel, Jr. Bridge in 2005. Demolition on the Pearman Bridge started August 6, 2005, and the bridge is now demolished or all gone.
