Johnnie Dodds Closure Delayed

Charleston County Government had planned to have East Frontage Road near Lakeview Drive closed beginning Tuesday, September 13 and ending Saturday, September 17.  However, due to unforeseen circumstances, the road closure is being removed effective TODAY and has been rescheduled for  Monday, September 19, through Friday, September 23.

 TRAFFIC ALERT for ROAD closure on East Frontage Road:

• Drivers should expect a road closure on East Frontage Road between Cliffwood Drive and Lakeview Drive (just north of Trader Joes) beginning Monday, September 19, at 7:00 a.m. and ending on Friday, September 23.
• Workers will be setting two large drainage structures in this area which require the use of cranes.
• Message boards are in place to inform drivers of the closures.
• If the weather is poor, the work will be completed on the next weather-permitting day.

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, which is expected to be completed in the spring of 2013, is to improve the traffic flow in and out of Mount Pleasant, especially before and after school and work hours. The project is funded by the Charleston County Transportation Sales Tax and managed by Charleston County Government, in close coordination with the Town of Mount Pleasant and the S.C. Department of Transportation.

The public can get up-to-date project information, including construction status and traffic alerts, online at http://www.ccroadwise.org/johnnie_dodds.html.
