CHARLESTON, S.C. (WCBD) -- Charleston city officials and the Path Foundation walked the site of the Lowline Project Thursday before construction begins in 2025. The Lowcountry Lowline Project will transform this abandoned highway corridor to a future park for the Charleston community. The project will have three districts: the North Central Corridor, the Parks and the Urban core. The North Central Corridor will be expanded under Interstate 26 and become a recreational space for the neighborhoods surrounding it. The parks will go from Romney Street to Spring Street and be large areas of green space for the community to gather and will also be used to manage stormwater for the peninsula. From Spring Street to Calhoun Street will be the urban core of the project that will resemble a downtown Charleston alley way giving pedestrians and bicyclists lots of space for travel. Charleston officials met at the project site to kick off the path foundation's design and engineering of the project. Mayor Cogswell spoke about how the project will help connect the city. "This interstate has disconnected a lot of parts of the city and runs right down the peninsula so to be able to knit that urban fabric back so people can enjoy being outside and take advantage of the infra source and live with it and not just live through it so I think its going to be an incredible amenity for the folks that live here," said Mayor Cogswell. The Path Foundation did a similar project in Atlanta and want to help Charleston take advantage of this opportunity. "What we're seeing today is an opportunity that any city in the country would die to have. A corridor that they already have ownership of an opportunity to create a linear park, and to really bring amenities to the communities," said Grata Demayo, the Executive Director of the Path Foundation. The Lowline Project plans to begin construction in 2025.
