JAMES ISLAND (WCSC) - Charleston County Government announced the completion of the first two phases of the Fort Johnson Road sidewalk project on Wednesday.

Officials say crews have completed construction of a new sidewalk from James Island Charter High School to Lighthouse Boulevard, which was Phase 1.  They've also completed Phase 2, which was construction of a new, asphalt sidewalk beginning at Walkers Landing Lane and continuing to the entrance of SC Department of Natural Resources' Marine Resources Division.

Now comes phases 3 and 4, which will provide sidewalk connectivity along the full length of Fort Johnson Road from the SC DNR division to Folly Road.

County approves design proposal for Harbor View Road

JAMES ISLAND (WCSC) - Charleston County Council approved a proposal for the new Harbor View Road design during a meeting Tuesday night.

The County decided to go with the more expensive and environment-friendly plan.  The decision will raise the cost of the project by $1.5 million and delay the completion by 18 months.

County staffers had recommended using the original plan which widened the road, but the council opted for the alternative plan.
