City, County leaders celebrate milestone in road construction project
Jan 9 2025
Mayor Habib joined City and regional leaders on Jan. 9 to celebrate a milestone in the Henry E. Brown J. Boulevard Phase 2 Improvement Project.
Berkeley County announced the substantial completion of Phase 2, which improved approximately four miles of Henry E. Brown Jr. Boulevard from Liberty Hall Road to U.S. 52. The project also increased capacity, improved safety, and provided bicycle and pedestrian accommodations.
Specifically, the roadway was widened from a two-lane section to three-lane section with a multi-use path, raised landscaped medians, painted medians, and dedicated left turn lanes at key intersections within the project limits. Montague Plantation Road was widened from a two-lane section to a four-lane section with a multi-use path and sidewalk. Additionally, the project included major improvements to the intersection at U.S. 52, Montague Plantation Road, and Old Mount Holly Road. Seamon Whiteside designed the project, and J.R. Wilson Company headed project construction, which began in late 2021. Infrastructure, Consulting and Engineering (ICE) provided project management and inspection.
“The City of Goose Creek is proud of this crucial project, the progress it has made, and the partnership it represents,” Mayor Habib said. “#OneBerkeley is more than just a slogan, and we remain committed to working with our regional partners as we reach new heights together.”
“This roadway and infrastructure project further highlights the importance of our One Cent Sales Tax Program, thanks to the continued support of Berkeley County voters,” Berkeley County Supervisor Johnny Cribb said. “This congested area will now have better traffic flow and improved safety measures for motorists and pedestrians who frequently travel through this area. Thank you to County Council, our county Engineering team, project contractors, and Goose Creek city officials for partnering on this critical initiative.”
Cost of construction totaled approximately $25 million, with funds stemming from the 2008 and 2014 One Cent Sales Tax Referendums.
