The New Bridge in Charleston














The Arthur Ravenel Jr. Bridge,
also known as the
Cooper River Bridge,

is a
cable-stayed bridge over the Cooper River in South Carolina, connecting downtown Charleston to Mount Pleasant. The eight lane bridge satisfied the capacity of U.S. Highway 17 when it opened in 2005 to replace two obsolete cantilever truss bridges.

It was built using the design-build method and was designed by Parsons Brinckerhoff.
