The Ashley River Crossing, the bike and pedestrian bridge linking West Ashley to downtown Charleston's medical district, remains on schedule and on budget for completion in summer 2027, city council members said. Construction began in January 2025 and parts of the span are now visible over the water. The project is estimated at roughly $90 million.
Why this matters here
The bridge will tie the West Ashley Greenway and Maryville Bikeway directly to the downtown Medical District, and city leaders expect heavy use. Businesses near either landing have about 18 months to plan for a new stream of walk-up and bike-up customers who never had an easy way across before.
