Johns Island, S.C. – Santee Cooper will begin construction work on Johns Island this week, which will result in intermittent lane closures on Brownswood Road between Old Pond Road and Fickling Hill Road. The closures are set to occur daily from August 4 through August 16, between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m. in the area near 1444 River Road, just north of Murraywood Road.
Impact on Traffic
During this period, drivers can expect brief delays due to the temporary lane closures. Although Santee Cooper assures that traffic disruptions should be minimal, motorists are urged to use caution and reduce speed when traveling through the construction zone. It is also recommended that drivers consider using alternative routes to avoid potential delays.
Purpose of the Construction
The ongoing construction project aims to upgrade the area’s transmission infrastructure, which will ultimately benefit the residents of Johns Island by improving the reliability of electricity services. Santee Cooper has emphasized the importance of these upgrades for the community’s long-term benefit.
Motorists should stay informed about the construction schedule and adjust their travel plans accordingly. The project is expected to cause minimal disruption, but safety and caution should remain a priority for all those passing through the area during the construction period.
