Its predecessors, the historic Grace bridge and Pearman bridge, were a beloved part of the Charleston skyline for almost 80 years. Over time, they became obsolete and unsafe for travelers. Charleston native Arthur Ravenel spearheaded the campaign for a new bridge to be constructed over the Cooper River, replacing the old bridges.

The bridge provides more than traffic relief to residents - It also has a bike and pedestrian lane, and the world famous Cooper River Bridge Run is held here every year.
