The bridge under construction
The City of Charleston today announced that the Beresford Creek Bridge will open to vehicle traffic on Friday, June 7th at 7 am. With two traffic lanes open, commuters should experience reduced travel times, eliminating the need for residents to detour around to Clements Ferry Rd. or Seven Farms and River Landing Rd. The multi-use pedestrian and bike path is still under construction and is expected to open to the public later this summer.
The Beresford Creek Bridge was built as a replacement for the Daniel Island Bridge over Beresford Creek. This project began in August 2023, but wasn't completed until this month after experiencing delays due to unforeseen embankment stabilization requirements on both sides of the bridge.
The City of Charleston collaborated with Cape Romain contractors to ensure structural integrity of the bridge while preserving the natural surroundings by using innovative solutions such as geotextile grid reinforcement.
