SCDOT Project Would Replace 45-Foot Bridge On Cypress Gardens Road

BERKELEY COUNTY, S.C. – The South Carolina Department of Transportation seeks public comment regarding the preliminary engineering, right of way, and construction phases of work for a bridge replacement project in Berkeley County.

According to SCDOT, the proposed project in Berkeley County is to replace a 45-foot bridge on S-9 (Cypress Gardens Road) over Canterhill Swamp.

The existing bridge is a three-span structure. One span was previously repaired so that load posting could be removed, SCDOT officials said. The remaining spans will soon have similar issues that will likely require reposting of this bridge.

The total project cost is $9,400,000.

The purpose of this bridge replacement project is to address structural deficiencies to meet current standards, SCDOT officials said.

Comments from the public will be accepted until the close of business on Aug. 8, 2024.
