In several public hearings held
throughout the Charleston region, the local public
chose the diamond tower design from other options.
The cable stayed span hangs from two diamond towers
at each end of the 1546 foot span. A signature
icon for the Charleston region, these towers reach
575 feet into the air and support a road
deck about 200 feet above the median high tide
mark. Specialty features include platforms and
tower elevators included for safety inspections
and maintenance.
