Lane Shifts Begin on Bees Ferry Road Monday

Road crews will begin laying asphalt along sections of Bees Ferry Road this week.

The work will require the crews to close portions of lanes along the road and to reroute traffic in some spots. Lane closures and shifts will happen between 8 p.m. and 5 a.m. each night, April 8 - 12.

Workers will direct traffic through the closures, and traffic control devices and pavement markings will be present to guide drivers through the lane shifts, according to a Charleston County Government statement.

Drivers in the area should also look for traffic control signs and message boards in the construction zone for instructions.

The Bees Ferry Road widening project is part of the Charleston County Transportation Sales Tax Program. It is expected to be completed in April 2014.
