Marsh Road closing postponed
Beaufort County Public Works crews are preparing to perform work to repair and improve the stormwater drainage system that runs under the Beaufort County Government Robert Smalls Complex parking lot and Marsh Road in Beaufort. The crews will be removing and replacing damaged sections of pipe that outfall into the adjacent marsh.
Work had been scheduled to start Aug. 20, but the county now anticipates a start date in early September. An update will be issued once a new start date is confirmed.
