Vol. 2, Issue 5 |
Dear Residents and Friends of Sullivan's Island:
Everyone is elated the bridge is back open for business. March means St. Patrick's Day, so
please use extra caution driving through the Community Commercial District on the celebration
dates. If you have not picked up your 2010 dog permit, now is a good time to do so. Remember
the winter season for dogs on the beach has been extended until April 30th.
Please check the Town's website often for updates on local events and news. | |

THE BRIDGE IS OPEN!!
Sullivan's Island residents breathed a sigh of relief during their morning commutes on Friday, February 19th.
SCDOT and PCL Civil Constructors, Inc. completed the new span installation and opened the bridge to all traffic at 1:50AM on February 19th.
A few "hardy" residents braved the bitter cold and late hour to celebrate this significant achievement.
 Mayor Carl J. Smith was on hand to thank the construction crew for their hard work in completing the installation under very challenging weather conditions (rain, snow, ice and high winds).
 Mayor Smith also joined Chauncey Clark in his Model A - the first car over the new bridge.
 Councilman Pat O'Neil joined Mayor Smith in thanking the bridge crew and was the first (and only) runner over the new bridge that night!
MOTORISTS, BICYCLISTS & PEDESTRIANS: Remember the causeways and bridge are still a construction zone. Speed limit is still 40MPH and caution should be used in this work zone. THANK YOU FOR YOUR PATIENCE. |
