Ashley River Road needs your comments by October 9

October 2, 2019

The magnificent, oak draped Ashley River Road that we have all known and loved is now threatened with a South Carolina Department of Transportation resurfacing and widening plan for the Dorchester County portion of the road that may forever change its rural and historic character. Both the Ashley River Road and the broader Ashley River Historic District are listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

Click below to see SCDOT’s plans and make your comments heard to save this iconic area. Please help us to preserve the historic character of the Ashley River Road by submitting comments to SCDOT by October 9, 2019.

This May, our Preservation Month theme is “People Saving Places” to shine the spotlight on everyone doing the work of saving places—in big ways and small—and inspiring others to do the same!

Celebrate!
