Charleston begins $1.3B sea wall project to fight flooding, with completion slated for 2035.
Charleston has entered the preconstruction phase for its $1.3 billion Battery Extension sea wall project, a major flood protection effort aimed at combating rising sea levels and frequent tidal flooding on the city’s low-lying peninsula.
The eight-mile coastal defense system, designed to double as a public linear park, will be developed in partnership with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, with $20 million in initial funding split between the city and federal sources.
The project, authorized in 2022, is expected to be completed by 2035 and is part of a broader strategy to enhance resilience against storm surges and climate-driven threats.
Alongside this large-scale initiative, smaller, innovative projects—like a privately funded "trip wall" and a stormwater retrofit—complement the effort by reducing flood risk at local levels.
