If you’re moving to Charleston, South Carolina, traffic can be one of the biggest surprises—because the Lowcountry’s geography and bridge-dependent layout creates real bottlenecks.

In this video, I break down why Charleston traffic feels so frustrating, including:

How water + bridges funnel traffic into choke points
The main routes: I-26, I-526, Hwy 17, and the Arthur Ravenel Jr. Bridge
Why a single crash can double commute times
And why rare winter weather can still cause major issues (including bridge closures during icy conditions).

I also touch on ongoing and planned road improvements like I-26 widening and corridor projects that are in progress/under development.
