The Folly Road at Camp Road Intersection Improvements Project on James Island involves improvements to Folly Road from about 1,000 feet south of Camp Road to the intersection with Eugene Gibbs Street and Rivers Point Row, and improvements to Camp Road from West Madison Avenue to Oyster Point Row. Improvements will relieve traffic congestion and localized flooding by adding turn lanes and upsizing drainage pipes. Bike lanes and sidewalks will also be added.
Much of the construction will take place during the night hours to ensure minimal interruptions to surrounding businesses and residents. The project is expected to take 18 months to complete.

Anyone with questions about the project can call Charleston County's Transportation Development Department at (843) 202-6140.
