What construction cost did WCSC report for the twin James B. Edwards Bridge structures?
The James B. Edwards Bridge carries Interstate 526 across the Wando River near Charleston, South Carolina, on twin 7,900-foot concrete structures. A 2018 WCSC report gives USD 34 million as their construction cost; another local account rounds it to USD 33 million, while a 1989 engineering trade report lists a USD 32.2 million construction contract. These are reported historical figures, not the cost of later bridge repairs.
