Lane Closures at Glenn McConnell and Bees Ferry Coming this Week

• Lane closures will occur July 15-19 between 8 p.m. and 5 a.m. at the Glenn McConnell Parkway and Bees Ferry Road intersection and along Bees Ferry Road between Radcliffe Place and the Bi-Lo shopping center so workers can perform asphalt work.
• At least one lane in each direction will be open on Glenn McConnell Parkway at all times.
• Workers with flags will be present to direct traffic through the lane closures.
• All road work is dependent on weather. If the weather is poor June 15-19, work will continue on the next weather-permitting night.

Drivers traveling through the project’s construction zone are asked to be aware of equipment and crews working in the area at all times. The public is also asked to notice traffic control signs, reductions in speed limit and message board information.

The goal of the project, which is expected to be completed April 2014, is to make improvements to the entire 4.5-mile length of Bees Ferry Road from Savannah Highway (U.S. 17) to Ashley River Road (S.C. 61). The project was requested by the City of Charleston and is funded by the Charleston County Transportation Sales Tax Program. Partial funding for the project was approved by voters in the second Transportation Sales Tax bond referendum.
