Shoulders Closed This Week As Work Continues on Laurel Bay Road
 The County’s contractor, IPW Construction Group, LLC, will begin shoulder closures this week that will run the entire length of Laurel Bay Road. Portions of either lane and sections of the road shoulders will be closed intermittently throughout the project
Work will be conducted between 6 a.m. and 8 p.m., Monday through Saturday. During this time, motorists are asked to please prepare for and expect minor delays in traffic.
Drivers traveling through the area are asked to please be mindful of the traffic control team and the crews working within the area. The project is anticipated to last for eight months.
The ramp coming off Trask Highway (Highway 21) southbound onto Laurel Bay Road remains permanently closed. Anyone turning right will have to do so at the light.
Passed unanimously at a recent County Council meeting, the resolution voted on was to accept Military Enhancement Plan Fund Grant from the SC Department of Veterans Affairs for the amount of $3,392, 328. The County will match the funds in the amount of $1,558,612.79. The project is part of the Beaufort County 2018 Penny Sales Tax Program.
