BEAUFORT, S.C. (April 26, 2024) – Construction will begin next week on the Allison Road stormwater and streetscape project.
Utilities have marked their work areas with flags, and silt fences have been installed to help protect the environment. Dominion Energy will begin putting utilities underground with conduit installations next week.
The Allison Road project is a pedestrian connector streetscape that will include an 8-foot sidewalk on the south side of the road to connect Ribaut Road and the Spanish Moss Trail. The project will include:
- Installing pipe in a ditch on the south side of the street
- Adding a sidewalk to the south side of the road
- Adding new curbs, gutters and catch basins
- Putting utilities underground except for large transmission lines on the north side of the road
- Resurfacing the road
- Adding new streetlights and landscaping
- Estimated cost: $3.02 million, funded through a Tap Grant, ARPA funds, a stormwater bond, and partnerships
Most of the work will take place during weekday hours. Residents and others should be prepared for traffic interruptions. We hope to minimize any inconveniences caused by this project, and the City will post updates on social media as this project takes place. The construction is expected to be completed in the fall.
