Ribbon-cutting ceremony to mark opening of Berlin G. Myers Parkway project

SUMMERVILLE, S.C. (WCBD) – A ribbon-cutting ceremony will be held Friday morning to mark the completion and opening of the Berlin G. Myers Parkway extension.

Construction of the Berlin G. Myers Parkway Phase III Project began in 2022 to improve safety, alleviate congestion, and improve the flow of traffic in the area.

Officials with the South Carolina Department of Transportation said the project will reach completion ahead of schedule. Leaders from the department will be joined by officials from the Town of Summerville and Dorchester County on Friday morning to celebrate the opening.

Construction included roughly 3.25 miles of roadway between U.S. Highway 17 Alternate and East Carolina Avenue.

Other elements of the project saw construction along Sawmill Branch to help reduce the potential for flood-related impacts, and upgrades or changes to the Sawmill Branch Walk/Bike Trail.
