Drivers traveling through the construction zones are asked to be aware of equipment and crews working in the area. The public is also asked to notice traffic control signs and message board information, and to note that all road work is dependent on the weather.

The goal of the project is to safely accommodate bicycle traffic on St. Andrews Boulevard and Ashley River Road as well as rehabilitate the pavement surface.

The project, which is expected to be completed by December 2011, is a coordinated effort by Charleston County, the city of Charleston and SCDOT. The project is being funded by multiple sources including the Charleston County Transportation Sales Tax, Charleston County Transportation Committee and an enhancement grant through the city of Charleston and SCDOT. The project is being managed by Charleston County Government’s RoadWise Program.
