The entrance to Hilton Head Island’s post office at U.S. 278 is closed, but the office itself remains open.
On Monday, the Town of Hilton Head Island closed the William Hilton Parkway entrance to begin constructing roads that will connect Northpoint on Jarvis Creek, the workforce housing neighborhood currently under construction in partnership with OneStreet Residential.
During the first phase, the entrance to the post office will be from Gumtree Road. Because half of the parking lot is closed, the town is urging caution; drivers must back out of their parking spots to leave the post office.
Here are the phases of construction and how to navigate them.
Phase 1: June 1-July 31
The William Hilton Parkway entrance and exit and half of the parking lot will be closed.
The new road and pathway from Northpoint on Jarvis Creek to Marsh Point Drive will be built, and the first half of the parking lot will be rebuilt.
Phase 2: Aug. 1-Nov. 15
During this phase, the Gumtree entrance and exit will be closed, shifting access back and only to William Hilton Parkway.
The road and pathway work and the second half of the parking lot will be completed.
