The second and final phase was completed ahead of schedule and consists of the new Bainbridge Connector, the reconstruction of Spruill Avenue and the extension and reconstruction of Stromboli Avenue. It also includes the associated roadway improvements to serve the new Hugh K. Leatherman Jr. port terminal and accommodate future commuter traffic demands. The project’s first phase was completed in February 2021.
“Charleston is home to the fastest growing container port in the nation, and Fluor understands the economic importance of having safe and reliable infrastructure access to port terminals,” said Thomas Nilsson, president of Fluor’s Infrastructure business. “Given the challenging dynamics with the global supply chain, the ability to get goods to market quickly is vitally important to local, state and regional commerce.”
The Port Access Road is an elevated viaduct structure that directly accesses I-26 and avoids railroad crossings, local street crossings and tidal creeks. It includes a new fully directional interchange on I-26, the reconstruction of two I-26 exits, a three-level flyover interchange and local roadway enhancements.
Construction began in 2016.
