Notice of Lane Closures on Bees Ferry Road on Jan. 6 and 7

Charleston County RoadWise advises the public of lane closures in West Ashley that will occur on Tuesday, Jan. 6, and Wednesday, Jan. 7, between 10 p.m. and 5 a.m. at the following intersections:

• Bees Ferry Road (S-10-57) and Savannah Highway (US-17)

• Bees Ferry Road and Glenn McConnell Parkway (SC-61 Expressway)

• Bees Ferry Road and Ashley River Road (SC-61)

• West Ashley Traffic Circle (near Wal-Mart)

All roads at these intersections will be affected for approximately 500 feet in each direction.

Only one lane will be closed on each road, and at no point will the entire roadway be blocked to traffic.

The road work will consist of testing that is needed before project designs can be made for Bees Ferry Road widening and intersection improvements, which are funded by the Transportation Half-Cent Sales Tax.

During the testing, trucks with lighted flashing arrow signs will be on site to warn drivers of the approaching lane closures.

Charleston County RoadWise is the name of Charleston County Government’s management program for the construction of roads, highways, resurfacing, paving and drainage projects that are funded by the Transportation Sales Tax.
