Walking Across the Ravenel Bridge - Charleston, SC - Cooper River Bridge

oin me as I walk the Ravenel Bridge! First park at Waterfront Park near the Visitor Center. You will see the pedestrian path that takes you to the Ravenel Bridge. Be sure to stay in the pedestrian lane and not in the bike lane. The bikers are speeding down the bridge so you need to stay in the pedestrian lane for safety.
The Arthur Ravenel Jr. Bridge connects downtown Charleston to Mount Pleasant. The previous bridge was called the Cooper River Bridge. In 2001 construction began on the Ravenel Bridge.
The Ravenel Bridge Walking Path is 2.5 miles long each way. I stopped at the half way point to enjoy the views of the USS Yorktown and the sunset over downtown Charleston and then headed back down the Ravenel Bridge to Waterfront Park.
After walking the Ravenel Bridge I walked around Waterfront Park and took in the Charleston Sunset.

I'm Arthur Bhutic. I've lived in Upstate South Carolina way back in the 1980s. While I was gone before this bridge existed, due to I moved to Houston. In Houston, I'd really want the I-610 Sidney Sherman Bridge over the Houston Ship Channel to be reconstructed to be like this!

Great video, I have only driven over it one time. I don't go to Charleston that much. I will have to put this on my bucket list to walk across the bridge. I did not realize that it had a section for walkers.
