The City of North Charleston announces upcoming temporary closures of interstate ramps at the I-26 and Weber Boulevard interchange. These closures are required as part of the ongoing Northwood Drainage Improvements project to safely install critical drainage infrastructure beneath the ramps.

Details of the closures:

• Inbound (on-ramp) from Weber Drive to I-26 (eastbound direction): Closed starting at 8:00 p.m. on Friday March 20th and will reopen by 6:00 a.m. on Monday March 23rd.
• Off-ramp from I-26 to Weber Boulevard: Closed starting at 8:00 p.m. on Tuesday March 24th and will reopen by 6:00 a.m. on Friday March 27th.

Note: These are closures designed to minimize disruption during peak travel times. Motorists should plan alternate routes during these periods.

The Northwood Drainage Improvements project aims to enhance stormwater management in the Northwood/Bentwood area, reducing flooding risks in surrounding neighborhoods through new piping, inlets, and related infrastructure. Work in this area includes installations under the interstate ramps to improve overall drainage without altering existing patterns.

The City appreciates the patience and cooperation of residents, commuters, and businesses during this important infrastructure work. Drivers are encouraged to use caution, obey all signage and flaggers, and allow extra travel time.
