<p>The City of Beaufort Public Works Department began work this week to install new drainage on Azalea Drive. The Azalea Drive Drainage Improvement Project consists of removal of old drainage pipes and construction and installation of new pipes. Throughout the project, there will be some inconveniences during the various stages of construction, but residents should not have any issues accessing their homes and traffic on Azalea Drive is not expected to be impacted.</p>
