The project extends Cosgrove Avenue above the port rail yard, which will allow trains to move to and from the facility without impeding local traffic or limiting safe pedestrian access to nearby neighbourhoods and businesses.
“The Navy Base Intermodal Facility is a premier project for SC Ports that will allow cargo to move more efficiently from the Port of Charleston to inland markets,” said SC Ports President and CEO Phil Padgett.
“While we serve as a port system for the entire state, SC Ports also recognises the need to be a good neighbour and local community partner. That means providing solutions for residents who live and work right here in North Charleston.”
City of North Charleston Mayor Reggie Burgess, local and state leaders, and representatives from Navy Yard Charleston and Charleston Moves were in attendance to mark the celebration.

“This new gateway to Riverfront Park marks an important step in the redevelopment of the former Navy Base,” said City of North Charleston Mayor Reggie Burgess.
“The opening of the Cosgrove Avenue overpass improves pedestrian safety, enhances mobility and connectivity, and provides residents with more convenient access to economic opportunities, recreational amenities, and future community development.”
Moreover, the new overpass brings greater access to the neighbouring Navy Yard Charleston development, a multi-phase redevelopment that transforms the former Charleston Naval Base into a mixed-use neighbourhood, and to Navy Yard Industrial Campus, a historic waterfront facility for maritime, manufacturing, creative, and logistic operations.

Additionally, Steve Dudash, Navy Yard Charleston director of special projects, said: “The Cosgrove Avenue extension offers a vital new access point to the historic Naval Base, linking the regional asset to the larger Charleston community and creating new opportunity for driving commerce in North Charleston.”
“Connectivity, particularly multi-modal, is the key to great placemaking, livability, and business success. This new infrastructure is pivotal to the area’s growth potential, and we commend SC Ports on the project’s completion.”
