Earlier this week, we posted notice of a temporary closure of the Seabrook Island Road bike path due to the installation of drainage improvements at the entrance to Seafields. The town received word from the developer this afternoon that the work has been placed on hold due to a conflict with an underground utility line. Therefore, the path will remain open to bike and pedestrian traffic for the remainder of this week. 

At this time, it is expected that the work affecting the pathway will commence next week, and the path will be closed to traffic at that time. We will post additional information on our website (www.townofseabrookisland.org) and on Tidelines (www.tidelinesblog.com) once the dates are confirmed. 

For more information, please contact Seabrook Island Town Hall at (843) 768-9121.

• tourist shuttle transportation;
• control and repair of waterfront erosion; and
