When completed in 2005, this was the longest cable-stayed bridge in North America, comprising a main span of 471 m (1546 ft.).

The new bridge replaced the two aging truss bridges over Cooper River and Town Creek, and increased the capacity from five to eight lanes of traffic.

Seismic and wind demands were both stringent as the bridge is located in a hurricane zone and its site has one of the highest seismic demands in North America.

B&T's Scope of Work:

Buckland & Taylor Ltd. developed the bid design for the cable-stayed portion of the crossing.

Buckland & Taylor Ltd. prepared the final detailed design for the two high level approach spans and six curved steel approach ramps; provided the independent check of the cable-stayed bridge; and provided erection engineering for the cable-stayed bridge.
