Charleston County Public Works officials to share update on Sol Legare Road pedestrian safety improvements
January 22, 2026
Charleston County Public Works officials will host a community meeting to share updates on the Sol Legare Road Sidewalk Project, a pedestrian safety initiative aimed at creating a safer, more accessible walking corridor along Sol Legare Road on James Island.
The meeting will be held Monday, February 9, 2026, at 6 p.m. at the Sol Legare Community Center, located at 1964 Sol Legare Road.
During the meeting, Public Works officials will provide an overview of the project’s progress to date, review conceptual plans, and outline anticipated next steps. Following the presentation, attendees will have an opportunity to speak directly with members of the project team.
The Sol Legare Road Sidewalk Project is designed to improve pedestrian safety along Sol Legare Road and includes:
- Construction of approximately one mile of 5-foot-wide concrete sidewalk between Folly Road and the community center near Chavis Road
- Installation of new and improved stormwater infrastructure
- Repaving a portion of Sol Legare Road to enhance drainage flow
- Relocation of existing utilities to accommodate improved stormwater assets
The project is currently in the design phase, which is funded through a combination of state gas tax funds and a state grant. Construction is expected to start in late 2027 and last until the middle of 2028.
