Charleston County Schools, comprising Johns Island, will have their first day of school on Tuesday, August 13, 2024. This means that the week before August 13, teachers and other school employees will return to school for orientations and meetings. The College of Charleston will open residence halls on Friday, August 16 and the first day of classes will be Tuesday, August 20. This will cause additional traffic downtown around the College of Charleston.

Expect more traffic on the roads, so give yourself extra time to travel on or off the island early in the morning as well as in the mid-afternoon. During those times of day, you are likely to encounter school buses on the road. Extra patience and caution are often required.

We received notification at 1:20 on July 18 that Bohicket Road is backed up from about Ace Hardware to Edenvale Road.  It appears to be some sort of road/tree work.  Traffic is allowed to pass on an alternating basis, but it can still take some time to get through.

It may take you longer to drive on Bohicket Road, so plan accordingly.
