I have a relative down here and this reminds me of her, the ocean and sunnier days!

Whenever I drive over that bridge, I always call it the Connector.
Even on the local news, no one ever addresses it by its official name "James Island Expressway."

I love that town. Never drove SC 30, though. I live in the Denver metro area. Maybe I could get I-70 coming down out of the mountains into Denver; I could use some tips, though.

Who remembers "Stop the Bull, Build the Bridge"?

@Freewayjim Yeah.... construction budgets are tight in all the states right now so not much is getting done. Speaking of construction... I was on the Orange Line Metro this morning and saw what looks like VDOT doing some lane widening on I-66 inside the beltway in the Falls Church/Arlington area. Will be nice to have more capacity on that cramped stretch of highway.

@0marigolds -Thank you, LOL @FreewayPeople :)
Good news! The State of South Carolina took away the I-526 extension project away from Charleston County where a small minority has been very vocally opposed to it. It looks like it will be built now with construction starting sometime in 2013.

Nice mini-tour. I like how smooth and new looking that concrete is.

@Bryant5493 -Thanks, for the most part it is, but near the end as you go under the bridge the transitions from Concrete to Asphalt are very rough.

That city looks so laid-back. I always love those elevated marshland highways. I-10 in Louisiana has a lot of stretches like that, if I recall. Same with the area around Mobile, AL. Nice work!

@VaFreeways -I like those highways too, can't wait to see what the missing 7 miles of this road might look like....someday.
