County to add fishing pier, make repairs to Spanish Moss Trail starting May 1

/

From staff reports

Beaufort County’s Capital Projects Department is set to begin work on repairs to the pedestrian bridge and the addition of a new fishing pier on the Spanish Moss Trail on Battery Creek near the Technical College of the Lowcountry.
Construction will begin Wednesday, May 1 and is expected to finish Sunday, June 30. The timeline is an estimate dependent on weather and supplies. The work will be done by O’Quinn Marine Construction from Beaufort.
The bridge and new fishing pier are located between the street crossings at Hermitage Road and Cottage Farm Drive.

The entire section of the Spanish Moss Trail between Cottage Farm Road and Hermitage Road will be closed for the duration of the project.

Construction traffic and staging of materials will block and interfere with the use of the bridge and the trail. Citizens should stay off this section of the trail for their safety and the safety of the contractor.

Visit the Spanish Moss Trail website (https://bit.ly/3UbrWSK) for closures. For questions or more information, please contact Beaufort County Capital Improvements Projects at 843-255-2707.
