Isle of Palms Connector Bridge, Road bridge between Mount Pleasant and Isle of Palms, South Carolina
The Isle of Palms Connector Bridge links Mount Pleasant to the Isle of Palms, crossing the Intracoastal Waterway with two traffic lanes and separate paths for pedestrians and cyclists. The structure serves as a key connection between US Highway 17 and South Carolina Highway 703, handling substantial daily traffic.
The bridge was completed in 1993 and has connected the two communities across the waterway since then. This infrastructure project opened the region and significantly improved access to the island.
The bridge carries the name Clyde Moultrie Dangerfield Highway, honoring a local businessman who represented the region in the South Carolina House of Representatives.
The bridge is accessible daily for vehicles and also provides paths for pedestrians and cyclists heading to the island. Users should expect normal traffic conditions and use the designated pedestrian paths when traveling on foot or by bicycle.
The structure hosts an annual running event where participants gather to race and walk across it. The event draws people from the area and celebrates the bridge as a gathering place beyond its role as a transportation route.
