The City of Charleston has selected a contractor and begun work on the replacement of the Daniel Island Drive bridge over Beresford Creek. Work began on August 15th of 2023. The new bridge will consist of two travel lanes with a multi-use path along one side. The construction is expected to last for approximately 9 months. We will provide periodic updates and project photos during the course of the construction activities.
