Kiawah Island Parkway Paving

Update: May 18, 2006 Paving of the Kiawah Island Parkway is complete (ahead of schedule!) as of 4:30am on May 18. The construction crew will be adding line striping, turn arrows, stop bars, and reflectors over the next few days. Please continue to drive with care in the work zones.

Evening work to re-pave Kiawah Island Parkway from the Main Gate to just beyond the Vanderhorst gate began Sunday, April 30, 2006, at 8:00 p.m. Work is anticipated to be complete by May 26, weather permitting.

Work will occur evenings only from Sundays through Thursdays between the hours of 8:00pm and 6:00am (so will occur weekly from Sunday evening/Monday morning through Thursday evening/Friday morning). No work will occur during the days or during Friday and Saturday nights. We expect that during the days, both lanes of the Parkway will be passable.

However, in the evenings starting at 8:00pm, one lane of traffic will be kept open, to the extent practical. We anticipate increased truck traffic on side streets due to asphalt trucks turning around, or detouring around the construction area to access the site in a certain direction. Bright night lighting will be used for the construction process.

While delays will be kept to a minimum, we encourage you to allow additional travel time in the evenings during the week. Please drive with care in the work zones.

You are welcome to address comments to Huggie Hindman, Director, Major Repair & Replacement, toll-free at (866) 226-1770 or locally at 768-9194, extension 257.

We appreciate your patience to keep the infrastructure in prime condition, but believe that the results will be worth the wait.
