Silas N. Pearman Bridge, Cantilever bridge in Charleston, United States
The Silas N. Pearman Bridge spans across the Cooper River, connecting the cities of Charleston and Mount Pleasant in South Carolina.
Opening on April 29, 1966, the bridge was constructed to address increasing traffic demands alongside the existing Grace Memorial Bridge.
The bridge received its name from Silas Nathaniel Pearman, a key figure in South Carolina transportation development during the mid-20th century.
The bridge structure incorporated three traffic lanes, with two permanent northbound lanes and one reversible lane for managing rush hour traffic flow.
Engineers from HNTB Corporation designed this cantilever bridge to withstand environmental challenges while maintaining structural integrity across the Cooper River.
