·        The widening of Courtenay Drive to accommodate two additional lanes from Cannon Street to approximately 200’ south of Doughty Street

·        The complete demolition, excavation and reconstruction of Bee Street from Courtenay Drive to Lockwood Boulevard 1,384’ with limited improvements to Bravo Street and Cherry Street.   

·        The inclusion of the relocation of approximately 1,160’ of existing twelve inch (12”) water line along Bee Street  from Courtenay Drive to Lockwood Boulevard.

·        Improvements to roadway and offsite drainage were designed in coordination with the city of Charleston to compliment pending improvements to the areas as part of the Spring/Fishbourne Drainage Improvement project.  The drainage improvements include new catch basins and larger size reinforced concrete pipes.

·        Traffic signal upgrades will be made at the intersections of Cannon Street and Courtenay Drive and Bee Street and Courtenay Drive intersections. The upgraded traffic signals will include pedestrian hand/man signal heads for the improved cross walks which will be provided with the project.
