From January 5 through March 13, 2015, a section of Charlotte Street from Washington Street to Concord Street will be closed to traffic, bicycles, and pedestrians. The College of Charleston’s Harbor Walk East and West buildings are located next to Charlotte Street, so alternate routes may be necessary.

WEBSITE: More information about Harbor Walk.

The street will be closed for a drilling project that will continue to increase the reliability of the electrical grid in Charleston.  SCE&G will be installing a steel pipe via horizontal directional drill under the Cooper River from Charleston to Mount Pleasant. The pipe will eventually contain high voltage insulated cables that are scheduled to be installed in August 2015. This electric line will provide a backup to existing electric lines that support the Charleston area in contingency events.
