This notice and the placement of variable message signs (VMS) on Ben Sawyer Boulevard and the Isle of Palms Connector are being provided to give at least seven days of preparation time for motorists, residents, and business owners.
For access on and off of Sullivan's Island during the bridge closure, the signed detour route is Coleman Boulevard (SC 703), Chuck Dawley Boulevard (I-526), Isle of Palms Connector (SC 517), Palm Boulevard, and Middle Street.
A full closure is necessary to position the new swing span and approaches onto the existing bridge's foundation piers. The bridge's design-build contractor, PCL Civil Constructors Inc., will be working two shifts, 24 hours a day, with the goal to complete closure activities as soon as possible.
Currently, the Waterway is anticipated to close on Wednesday, Feb. 3. SCDOT will continue to update the public via the project website www.BenSawyerBridge.org, media notifications, and now with Tweets from SCDOT_BenSawyer.
