Expect delays on William Hilton Parkway starting Sunday night. Here’s how long they’ll last

The South Carolina Department of Transportation will resume paving work on William Hilton Parkway starting Sunday, June 11.

SCDOT will be applying the final layer of asphalt as well as adding pavement markings. Road crews will work nightly between 7 p.m. and 7 a.m. nightly until it’s complete, according to a press release from the town of Hilton Head Island.

The work is expected to finish by July 31, 2023.

One lane of traffic will always remain open in each direction, according to the town’s website.

The work will be split into three segments pictured below:

• Segment one will start at Gum Tree Road and end at Whooping Crane Way/Indigo Run and is currently scheduled for completion by June 30, 2023.

• Segment two will start at Shelter Cove Lane (near Beaufort County Sheriff’s Office) and end at Yacht Cove Drive and is currently scheduled for completion by June 30, 2023.

• Segment three will start at Yacht Cove Drive and end at Sea Pines Circle/Arrow Road and is scheduled for completion by July 31, 2023.

The green segments of the map are not currently funded as part of the pavement project. Of the future projects, one will start at Cross Island Parkway and go to Gum Tree Road, and the other will start at Whooping Crane/Indigo Run and go to Shelter Cove Lane.

Town officials ask that anyone driving along the road in these areas exercise caution.
