Lanes on Main Road near Route 17 will be temporarily closed over the weekend according to Live 5 News.
Crews from the Department of Transportation will be working on drainage improvements between Morse Avenue and Marshfield Road which will cause temporary lane closures.
Charleston County spokesperson Natalie Hauff advised motorists that Saturday and Sunday between 5 a.m. and 5 p.m are the scheduled times for the work.
The report does not state whether both lanes will be closed at the same time or if they will alternate the lane closures.
If any Seabrooker travels that road and has an update, please let Tidelines know and we can pass that information on.

Bohicket Road was closed this morning between River Road and Edenvale Road due to an accident. Both roads are now open.

Two Seabrookers have written in to say that they were diverted from Bohicket Road through Edenvale Rd to River Road. They couldn’t tell what was causing the problem.
Needless to say, the traffic on River Road as well as Maybank Rd is heavy. As people working on the island try to leave this afternoon, it might be even heavier.
There is nothing on the DOT website, but we will monitor this.
UPDATE: Commenters are indicating the road is now reopened.

Several Seabrookers have reported that Bohicket Road at River Road is now open all the way to Route 17. Apparently, they were able to repair the road faster than they anticipated.
We will keep you updated if we hear anything to the contrary.

At the 29 September meeting of Charleston County Council, approval was given to the Finance Committee recommendation to begin negotiations for termination of the existing contract with SC DOT relating to the proposed “superstreet” at the intersection of US 17 and Main Rd.
Council also approved a motion outlining Council’s guidance for objectives related to the approved negotiations including: (i) termination of the existing contract to release the $1.5M committed by Charleston County; (ii) widening of Main Road between Bees Ferry Road and the Main Road intersection with River Road; (iii) address of drainage issues of Main Road that resulted in recent flooding; (iv) application of the released $1.5 M to start of design work, environmental impact studies and the like preparatory for construction of a separated grade renovation (overpass) of the US 17 and Main Road intersection.
It was noted that until a design is proposed for which costs can be developed, Charleston County can not pursue funding for construction.
