From staff reports
Beaufort County made the long-awaited announcement last week that the Spanish Moss Trail will soon be extended from Port Royal’s Ribaut Road to Appleton Road.
Work was expected to begin this week and take about 6 months to complete, weather permitting, according to a news release. The project includes installation of a pedestrian activated traffic signal at Ribaut Road to provide pedestrians and cyclists with a safe crossing, similar to the existing signal on Robert Smalls Parkway for the trail.
Roadway work on Ribaut Road will be completed during the night between 7 p.m. and 6 a.m. Work on the trail will be performed during the daytime.
During construction, lane closures, road cones and signage will be visible to direct traffic safely. Motorists, cyclists, and pedestrians should be prepared for lane closures and are encouraged to use extra caution when approaching work zones.
Please contact Pamela Bernard, Project Manager at Beaufort County Engineering with any questions or concern about the project at 843-255-2691 or pamela.bernard@bcgov.net.
