Piers Rise From Old Cooper River Bridge Pilings
After the Ravenel Bridge opens next year the aging John Grace Memorial Bridge will be dismantled but its pilings will remain to form a 1,250-foot Mount Pleasant fishing pier. The 27-acre park and three pavilions will support a 90-foot square head and an artificial reef using rubble from the bridges. Public comment on permits will be taken through next month.
