Johnnie Dodds: Sunday Road Closures

Traffic Alert: Lane Closure on East Frontage Road on Sunday, Nov. 20th between 6:30AM and 12:30PM.

Charleston County Government announces a traffic alert as part of the Johnnie Dodds Boulevard Improvements Project in Mount Pleasant that will affect East Frontage Road in front of BB&T bank near Dragoon Dr.  The work is necessary to replace and relocate an existing power pole.

Nov. 20th morning lane closer:

• Drivers should expect to encounter flaggers on East Frontage Rd. in front of the BB&T near Dragoon Dr. who will be controlling traffic due to a lane closure.  
• The work will occur during the morning from 6:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. in an effort to reduce the impact on drivers.
• If the weather is poor Nov. 20th, the work will be completed during the same timeframe on December 4th.

Drivers traveling through the construction zones are asked to be aware of equipment and crews working in the area. Alternative routes are recommended if possible. The public is also asked to notice traffic control signs, reductions in speed limit 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.
