Welcome to the Ben Sawyer Bridge Website!
The Ben Sawyer Bridge is a swing span bridge constructed between 1943 and 1945 to connect the South Carolina towns of Sullivan’s Island and Mount Pleasant over the Intracoastal Waterway.
The bridge’s rehabilitation includes new steel superstructure approach spans and swing span as well as new electrical and mechanical systems. In response to public input, the new superstructure is similar to the existing bridge in design and height with slightly wider traffic lanes and a 5.5 foot sidewalk. This $32.5 million project is funded entirely by federal dollars and is expected to be completed by Summer 2010.
