Periodic Closures at JDB and Bowman Road

Intersection Closure at Bowman Road and Southbound Johnnie Dodds Boulevard for 15 Minute Intervals on Nov. 21, 22, and 28.

Charleston County Government announces a new, traffic alert as part of the Johnnie Dodds Boulevard Improvements Project in Mount Pleasant. The purpose of this closure is to allow construction crews to unload bridge support beams in the southbound lanes of Johnnie Dodds Boulevard at Bowman Road.

Mon., Nov. 21; Tues., Nov. 22; and Mon., Nov. 28 Intersection Closure on Bowman Road and Johnnie Dodds Blvd.:

• Motorists may experience minor delays as crews will close the section of US 17 SB at Bowman Road along with Bowman Road at US 17 SB for approximately 15 minutes to unload beams.
• Traffic will be allowed to flow freely until the next beam is ready to be moved.
• Construction activity will occur from 10 p.m. – 11:30 p.m.
• Local law enforcement officers will be on site to direct traffic at each location.
• US 17 traffic northbound will be un-interrupted except for those trying to make a left at Bowman Road.

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.
