Mossy Oaks Stormwater Project Updates

Mossy Oaks update through Feb. 19

Feb. 12, 2021

Ladies and Gentlemen:

Please see the two maps that detail work in the following week in Basin 1 (vicinity of the Duck Pond) and Basin 2 (vicinity of Southside Park). Additionally, Dominion Energy will be working in the entire Mossy Oaks area this coming week to trim trees. This project, done every few years, helps to protect the life and safety of people and property, while preventing service outages caused by trees that come in contact with the power lines, particularly during storms. Please refer to the City’s website for additional information on Dominion Energy’s efforts in the Mossy Oaks area: http://www.cityofbeaufort.org/575/Dominion-EnergyTree-Pruning

Basin 1

The Spanish Moss Trail in Basin I from Rogers to Broome is now open!  Further, final adjustments are being made to  the tidal flap gates, which will better protect against floods. The rain delayed some minor drainage work this week, and next week looks like we’re in for more of the same weather. But as soon as the weather breaks, progress to complete these last minor drainage improvements will continue. When there is a break in the weather, residents can expect additional work in and around the Duck Pond area, Battery Creek Road, Coates Lane, and North Royal Oaks. 


Basin 1 thru Feb. 19

Basin 2

Work on the drainage system on the Spanish Moss Trail between Riverside Drive and Brotherhood Lane made progress this week despite the weather. All three massive headwalls, and three sets of 60-inch pipes running under the trail have been installed. The trail is almost completely filled back in. Weather permitting, three tidal flap gates will be installed next week. Following that, the temporary coffer dam will be removed and the trail will be repaved and opened. It is anticipated that a fully functional drainage system will be activated in about two weeks -- well ahead of hurricane season. 

Basin 2 thru Feb. 19

Safety!

We’ve had another perfect week of safety and we thank the men and women of the Beaufort Police Department and the area motorists for their efforts. Please remember that Dominion Energy is working in the entire Mossy Oaks area. They will have heavy machinery and trucks in the area.  Please allot extra time when transiting the area.        

Stay informed

We have had the pleasure to chat with many residents this week regarding our progress and what to expect in the weeks to follow. Please keep those calls and emails coming. All of your issues are important, and they will be addressed as rapidly and as fully as possible.    

Despite the weather, this multi-million-dollar project remains on schedule and on budget!

Have a terrific weekend!
