Charleston County Government announces a temporary nighttime detour starting Sunday, March 12 for traffic on Camp Road. A segment of Camp Road will be closed to traffic from approximately 200 feet east of Folly Road to Bradford Street.
Crews will be repairing sections of the road in preparation of widening Camp Road for new turn lanes. The widening will begin once the repairs are complete and the detour will be discontinued. Traffic lanes on Camp Road will then be shifted for several months until all of the widening at the intersection is complete and the new turn lanes are opened to traffic. Drivers traveling through the project's construction zone are asked to be aware of equipment and crews working in the area at all times. All work is weather permitting.

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 included in the project.
