Dear Campus Community,
Starting today and throughout this weekend, expect to see a significant increase in both pedestrian and foot traffic in downtown Charleston. The Cooper River Bridge Run will take place on Saturday, April 2, 2022. Approximately 25,000 runners and walkers are expected to participate in the event.
Starting at 10 p.m. on Friday, many roadways near campus will be closed to traffic to allow for the construction of the finish line and emergency services near the TD Arena on Meeting Street. Starting at 4 a.m. on Saturday, all vehicles parked on the race route downtown will be towed.
You should not park in any restricted areas (meters which are bagged, etc.) as cars will be towed from those sites. Please see the link to the Bridge Run website below for additional information about road closures, including the closure of the Ravenel Bridge at 7 a.m. on Saturday.
It is anticipated that all roadways will reopen to normal traffic flow by 2 p.m. on Saturday.
